The Paralympic motto states “Spirit in Action” which represents the strong will and determination of every athlete. Don’t miss a moment of the awe-inspiring action as they compete for Gold in Tokyo from the 24th August – 5th September.

Alumnae News - Suncorp Super Netball

Goodluck to Sophie Dwyer ('19), who is competing in the Suncorp Super Netball Grand Final this weekend for Greater Western Sydney (GWS). This season has seen Sophie rise to a starting 7 player and has been creating waves across the entire competition!

Active Body | Calm Mind | Connected Spirit

Loreto Normanhurst is excited to announce a school-wide initiative for an Active Body, Calm Mind and Connected Spirit. The multi-department program offers students a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, with a strong focus on connected and community spirit.

There are opportunities for morning fitness and meditation classes, activities through the tutor group structure and the return of Dancing in the Quad! (Virtually of course.)

I would encourage all students, families and staff to join in the program to create as many connections as possible during these tough times.

For more information, please check the Pastoral Canvas Page.
