About our school

A Catholic Education Backed by Exceptional Teaching

At Loreto Normanhurst, our mission is rooted in Catholic values and the vision of Mary Ward, inspiring young women to learn with curiosity, act with compassion, and lead with integrity. Beginning in Year 5 offers the ideal foundation for this journey, where faith and community shape every aspect of school life.

We believe outstanding teaching is key to delivering an education that nurtures the whole person. That’s why Loreto Normanhurst invests deeply in the growth and wellbeing of its teachers. Through initiatives such as Open Learning Circles, Quality Teaching Rounds, and Instructional Coaching, our educators engage in collaborative, research-based professional development that enhances classroom practice and fosters excellence.

This commitment ensures your daughter benefits from teachers who are supported, inspired, and continually refining their craft—creating dynamic learning environments where every student feels known and valued.

Start in Year 5 and give your daughter the advantage of a Catholic education delivered by educators who lead with faith, passion, and expertise.
