Loreto Normanhurst School, founded in 1897, is a well-known Catholic independent school for girls located on the Upper North Shore of Sydney, Australia. The school adheres to the core values of “happiness, freedom, justice, sincerity and truth” and is committed to providing holistic education to cultivate students with academic excellence, empathy and resilience.

Our award-winning Student Growth Model integrates the four major areas of Faith, Academic, Community and Extra-Curricular (FACE curriculum) to guide students to develop in a balanced way in all aspects of body, mind and spirit, cultivate confident, resolute and globally-minded leaders, and lay a solid foundation for growth in an increasingly connected world.

In 2026, Loreto Normanhurst will open new, state-of-the-art boarding facilities, welcoming students from all over the world to join our supportive and inclusive boarding community. The new dormitory will become a second home for boarders to grow up in peace, with top-notch learning and living resources to comprehensively enhance the children’s learning and living experience.
