She believed, at a time when it was not a widely held belief in Church or society, that women could “do much” in the service of God. She was a pioneer of the apostolic religious life for women and her order now exists on every continent.

  • 1 Transcript of the Principal's Message
    Transcript of the Principal’s Message – 21 May 2021 Good afternoon to all members of the Loreto Normanhurst community, it's wonderful to be with you again today and for this newsletter to be reaching you. The cooler mornings, but these gloriously sunny days. And hopefully the sunshine is reaching you and your families as well. I'm here today, just outside our beautiful boarding school, to mark the fact that we're finishing up National Boarding Week. And in fact, today, Friday, the focus across Australia is to acknowledge and to recognise all staff who work in boarding schools across Australia. And so I'd like to start by thanking the remarkable people who work at Loreto Normanhurst, in the boarding capacity, and all of our partners who partner with us to enable our offering of boarding here at the school. So thank you to the staff who care for our boarders daily, nightly, and across every day of the week. It's been a wonderful way of celebrating who we are as a school community, by having that focus on National Boarding Week this week. We had Behind the Boarders at assembly, and hearing a little bit more about our boarders and where they come from. We've had skipping, we've had fun runs. We've had lots of things going on. And I, myself, have just returned from the first of the Principal's Country Road Trips, having spent four days in Central West and north western New South Wales, visiting our families, catching up with ex-students and past parents, and talking to a couple of families who are looking to have their girls come to Loreto Normanhurst in the next few years.

Sr Chris Burke From the Provincial Reflections on Timor Leste For one not used to traveling to areas with traveler alerts attached to them, going into Timor Leste in the last month was a sobering experience. I had been to Dili and Baucau in May 2005, and while the results of the earlier crisis were all too obvious, one could allow oneself the hope that the future would be brighter. Not this time. On arrival the army tents, the refugee camps in the airport, religious houses, and church grounds all look set in for the long haul. Further into Dili, more burnt out L­R: Sr Anne Byrne, Sr Chris Burke, houses give substance to the fears and loss of Sr Diaan Stuart. so many.
