Boarding Life
“Many parents from regional towns choose
Loreto Normanhurst for their daughters because
they are looking for more subject options and
a wide variety of extra-curricular options."
Mrs Kate Kovacs, Director of Boarding

A typical day in boarding...
Starts with breakfast which is served from 6:30am in the Boarders' Dining Room.
After breakfast, boarders might have sport training, or head off to school early to catch up with their friends, call home to talk to family, or take the opportunity for a walk on the oval with friends.
At recess and lunch, boarders collect their meals from the Boarding School and head outside to enjoy time with their friends.

After school is finished for the day...
Boarders enjoy sport training, recreation or extra-curricular activities. They may also attend appointments, spend time in the Common Rooms with their peers, or head to the Library to start their homework.
Dinner is served from 6pm-7pm and boarders eat together at vertical dinner tables with other boarders from Year 7 - 12.
Supervised study occurs before and after dinner for all boarders from Monday to Thursday evening, and on Saturday afternoon for boarders who are onsite.
Leisure time is allocated for catching up with friends before bedtime, calling home and getting ready for the next day at school.

Weekends are a relaxed time for boarders...
There is a range of flexible options for leave across the weekend and if staying onsite, boarders have a variety of recreation and study options.
After lunch on Saturday, boarders can enjoy the expansive grounds and sporting facilities of the School. There is an organised activity program for the younger boarders on Sunday with the option for older boarders to join in if they would like to.
One Community Weekend each Term provides a variety of social and emotional opportunities, life skill programs, age relevant activities and local community events that encourage boarders to get out and about and enjoy what is on offer close to home. All boarders remain onsite for the whole weekend and this also assists them get to know all the members of the boarding community as well as use their leadership skills and creativity.
