A legacy of music and opportunity.

The June Roarty (Shepherd) Music Scholarship honours former Loreto Normanhurst boarder June Roarty (née Shepherd, LN 1946).

Originally from Tamworth, June attended Loreto Normanhurst as a boarder before pursuing her love of music at the Conservatorium of Music.

Established through the generosity of June's daughter, Julianne Maxwell, the Scholarship continues June's legacy by providing another talented young musician from regional or rural NSW with the opportunity to develop her musical potential through boarding and music at Loreto Normanhurst.
