Start your Enrolment Journey Today

For generations of young women, here
is where it starts.

Loreto Normanhurst is a leading Sydney independent, Catholic Day and Boarding school for girls from Year 5–12.

Established in 1897, the school is part of a worldwide network of Loreto schools under the care of Loreto Ministries and one of six Loreto schools in Australia.

Our foundress, Mary Ward, a devout and pioneering English woman who lived from 1585-1645, believed that "Women in time to come will do much."

We provide opportunities for young women to grow with confidence and compassion, developing modern day Mary Wards who are ready to take on the world - wherever that may lead them.
