AS THEY WRAPPED UP THEIR TIME IN LN BOARDING, TWO OF OUR YEAR 12 BOARDERS REFLECTED ON WHAT MADE THEIR EXPERIENCE SO SPECIAL.
Anna commenced boarding at Loreto Normanhurst in Year 10 and comes from a horse stud outside Scone, NSW. Starting boarding in Year 10 was both daunting and exciting. Although I was worried about making new friends after being in a small school for a number of years, the community spirit and great group of girls soon calmed my nerves. I would say the top tip for starting boarding is to put yourself out there, even if you are shy. Joining clubs and groups in the day school – debating, strategic games club, choir, IGSSA sport, triathlons – helps to make new friends while also making the most of Loreto’s endless opportunities.

Joining the boarding environment has provided me with both independence and great personal skills. Boarding life means that you need to be organised and have good time management, something that will undoubtedly help you in the future. Developing team-building and personal skills through community activities and living with friends is also one of the biggest takeaways from boarding life.

MY TIME IN BOARDING
GOLDMAN
My favourite boarding tradition is Main Event. It’s my favourite because of the high-spirited competition and a chance to bond as a year group. Coming together as a whole boarding cohort and sharing the performances with parents makes the weeks of dancing practice worth it. It is definitely something I will remember upon leaving Normo.
