Principal’s Road Trip

The Principal, Ms Marina Ugonotti, together with Mrs Kate Kovacs, Director of Boarding, warmly invite current, past, and future families, alumnae, and friends of Loreto Normanhurst to join them at a Country Road Trip. 
This year’s Road Trips take on a particular significance, as we celebrate the 125th anniversary of Loreto Normanhurst. We invite you to celebrate this milestone with us, in recognition of the part that you and the communities in each region have played in the school’s 125 years of history and will, play a significant part of the future. 
Please feel free to extend this invitation to others in your area who may like to take this opportunity to meet the Principal, our Director of Boarding, and other wonderful Loreto Normanhurst families.

Flashback Friday

Ms Rachel Vaughan | Records Manager

We’ve begun our #FlashbackFriday celebrations of 125 years of Loreto Normanhurst, going right back to where it all started. Read all about life at LN in the 1897-1900s and the 1910’s here.

Next - we want to feature you!

What was life like here at Loreto Normanhurst in the 1960’s? What was it like to be a Boarder in the 1980s? What was memorable about Loreto Day in the 2000s?

Start brainstorming with your classmates and dig out those photo albums to contribute to our 125 celebrations. Let us know what your favourite memories of LN are and from which decade.  What stands out about your classes, excursions, the uniforms and fashion, the technology, the Boarding School? Maybe you attended across two different eras? We look forward to celebrating every decade in all its glory here every few weeks.

So many generations of alumnae have been a part of the Normo story, and we’d love to celebrate them all. Perhaps your Mum or Grandmother was a Normo girl as well, or you know a Normo boy from the Junior School.
