The Nuts and Bolts You Need to Know! The nuts and bolts you need to know! A Message from your School Captains. We are so excited to welcome you to Normo! You are about to meet so many new people and discover so many new places. But don’t worry if you feel overwhelmed as this is a big place with lots of friendly faces around to give you a helping hand. To help a fellow Normo girl out, we have put together this booklet to give you a heads up about what’s to come on your first day of school next year. We hope you love your first Loreto experience, and grow to love this awesome school as much as we do. Remember to always ask lots of questions, make lots of friends and HAVE FUN We can’t wait to meet you all! Love Evie and Ana (School and Vice-Captain 2019) Welcome to our new Boarders and we hope you find Boarding lots of fun as we do Here at Loreto Normanhurst we are fortunate to be home to over 150 boarders from all over NSW, Australia and overseas. The boarding community is a welcoming and loving environment which embraces all girls and their individual talents and personalities. You will come to meet many boarders at Normo and some of you may be a boarder yourself, which is very exciting. The Boarding House is a very close community, full of optimistic girls who support one another and grow together, acting as sisters. Throughout the year, there are many fun events organised for boarders, such as trips to the beach, city and a boat cruise around Sydney Harbour. We can’t wait to meet you all, especially those of you becoming ‘pink ladies’ (boarders)!! Love Ella and Suzuki (Boarding School Captain and Boarding Vice-Captain 2019) The 2019 Student Council’s priorities are: Building Spirit across the whole School community. We will be aiming to do this by creating inspiring videos for the girls, encouraging participation in all school events, lots of fun interhouse competitions, long recess dance offs, Student vs Teacher events and much more. Building Connections across the whole School community. We will be aiming to do this by saying hello to the girls in the morning with our meet and greet, creating a Normo closed FB group, community day activities that encourage whole school participation, bursary events, tutor and house activities and encouraging students to support one another at a range of sporting and extra-curricular events. Some helpful tips for your first days at LN! Over your years at Loreto you will collect many tags, badges, ribbons and special notes. You might like to find a box and start collecting the things you receive today. At whole school events like the Music Festival dress rehearsal and sports carnivals, it’s a good idea to make your bag stand out. If you bring your sports or school bag it might get lost amongst all the other girls’ bags that look exactly the same. a good idea might be to place a bright ribbon on your bag so you will never lose it. In Summer (Term 1 and Term 4), we don’t have to wear our blazers to school every day, but we aren’t allowed to wear a jumper outside of school without a blazer over the top, so pack your blazer on cold days! We wear our blazer to and from school in winter. We need to wear our hats whenever we are in uniform outside of school, and also at recess and lunch during Terms 1 and 4. The Loreto value for 2019 is ‘SINCERITY’ – you will hear lots about how we are incorporating this value into our daily lives, working towards recognising and embracing every person for their quirks and individuality and involving everyone within the School community. Year 12 has come up with a theme and banner for the year, which is “Let Sincerity be at the centre of the love we share with all”. Each year the value we focus on changes. You will hear more about the values later on. The first bell rings at 8.20am at school and we need to be in class by 8.25am, so it is best to get organised at about 8.15am so there is time to go to your locker, drop off your bag and mobile phone, get your books and find your friends! To get to school by train, all you need to do is catch the train to Normanhurst Station, which is one stop away from Hornsby. Then you walk up the hill to school – there will be lots of girls to follow or to ask for help. When you get the lock for your locker, make sure you practice unlocking it, as the combinations can be tricky to master. Always keep your locker secure. If you are ever trying to get in or out of the school after hours and find most doors locked, Boarder Reception is almost always open. Some words you might hear when you start at LN! Advisor: Your integrated teacher and special carer. Advisory Group: Your Integrated class – all the Year 7s in your House. Assembly: A whole school gathering in the gym for messages and presentations on a Wednesday. Café: A mini-canteen near the Curran Theatre that serves hot chocolate and other treats and is open until the end of lunch. Communion Service: The liturgy we have before school each Friday starts at 8.00am in the Chapel. This is run by Year 12 girls (a great way to start Friday and spend time with your friends in the morning). Conversation: A special meeting you will have every few weeks one on one with your Advisor or Tutor. Conversation Period: A half hour session on Wednesday where you will see your Advisor and advisory group, while the older girls have conversations with their Tutor or hear from someone else. Curran Theatre: The school’s theatre, where you will sometimes meet with your Year and House groups and where some presentations occur. DRC: Deidre Rofe Centre – the centre for Year 7 Integrated, where Y7 meet for the first few weeks of school before being taken to your classes. GBC: Gonzaga Barry Centre – a beautiful building with a lot of glass windows. It has classrooms, meeting rooms and break out rooms for group work. Half-time Bell: A bell that rings at 1.00pm, half way through our lunch time – you don’t have to go to class then! Head of House: The teacher in charge of your House (Mrs Stanger, Ms Jenkins, Mr Moran, Mrs Nairn, Mrs Vink, Mrs Guthrie, Ms Taaffe, Mrs Hughes). House: The team you belong to at school – Integrated classes for Y7 are organised in teams and so are lockers and tutor groups (Aston, Barry, Kendall, Kuring-Gai, Maye, Mornane, Mulhall, Ward). House Captain: The Year 12 student leader in your House who you can go to if you need any help in your first few days of school, as well as your buddy (Sophie, Ella, Charlotte, Gabriella. W, Amelia, Lily, Hannah, Gabriella. B). House Music Conductor: The student in charge of teaching the House their song for Music Festival, and leading them on the night (Akshara, Sophie, Alice, Bianca, Eve, Isabelle, Samantha, Sarah). House Time: The House meeting we have on a Wednesday (on rotation with assembly), to receive messages, complete activities and learn exciting things. Integrated Learning: The dynamic Loreto subject, where we learn a bit of everything; a lot about ourselves, our School and the world we live in. Light Entertainment: A competition we have in Term 4 where each House creates a performance involving singing, dancing, and acting – one gets chosen to perform at Music Festival the following year. Long Recess: Freestyle dancing in the quad each Wednesday where you can get up and dance with your friends to the latest tunes from 10.05am to 10.35am. Loreto Day: Our school’s feast day in Term 2 which we celebrate by being people for others. Year 11 students raise awareness for a Mary Ward International cause. It is a community day of prayer, fundraising and a talent quest concert in the afternoon. LRC: The Learning Resource Centre where you can study and borrow a variety of different books – it opens at 7:30am in the morning until late each day. Mary Ward: Born 23 January 1585, Mulwith, United Kingdom. The Foundress of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM). She founded a new way of religious life for women focused on their active service to others. Mary was a woman of deep prayer who always listened to God in her life. She died on 30 January 1645 in Heworth, United Kingdom. Midday Gong: A time of prayer, silence and reflection at 12.00pm. The whole School community stops at this time. This is an important part of our day as a faith community. Mobiles devices: A very handy device often called a smart phone which is to remain in your school bag or locker, switched off or on silent between 8.20am-3.15pm. Your locker must be locked at all times. Mother Gonzaga Barry: Born 24 July 1834, Wexford, Ireland. Gonzaga Barry came to Australia with some of the Loreto Sisters in 1875. She established LN in 1897 after seeing a beautiful rainbow above our grounds which to her was a sign that this is where she was to build a new school. She died on 15 March 1915 in Ballarat, Victoria. Music Festival: The big concert we all perform in on the last night of Term 1 – every girl sings in their House Choir to try and win the grand prize or spirit trophy, and you can be in many other acts as well! (School Choir, Orchestra, Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Chamber Strings) MWC: Mary Ward Centre, the meeting area for Kendall House.

  • 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.
