Getting Started in Primary School
Starting single-sex education in Primary School provides a foundational advantage, allowing girls to build academic independence and confidence before the transition to secondary school. At Loreto Normanhurst, our primary students benefit from an early introduction to the award-winning Loreto Normanhurst Student Growth Model (LNSGM), which ensures a stable and continuous educational journey through to Year 12.
By beginning their journey early, girls have access to authentic leadership roles and specialised facilities that are often reserved for older students in other settings. This early immersion fosters a deep sense of belonging and ensures a seamless, high-confidence transition into the secondary years.
