Sport Profiles

This AFL season for Loreto was once again one to remember. With wins, losses and draws, it was a great season full of fun, laughs, new skills and progress. For our Seniors team, we had a mixed season but a great one nonetheless as players developed and the team worked well together. It was also great to see so many younger girls getting involved in AFL and developing as players. The opportunity for myself and other girls to learn and play AFL has been exciting and rewarding. We hope to see the program continue to grow. A special thanks to the sport department for providing this opportunity and to the coaches for their enthusiasm, patience and dedication.

The 2021 IGSA Basketball season was much anticipated as COVID-19 meant that we were unable to play in 2020. It was also a very exciting season for the Senior Firsts team, who won a game for the first time in three years! The team went on to win most of their games, placing equal 2nd on the ladder overall in the Firsts division. For my last year of basketball at Loreto Normanhurst, this was a very special and memorable achievement. Over the course of the season, myself, the team and our coach developed a strong sense of teamwork. We learnt a lot of skills that enabled us to perform strongly. The season meant a lot to all of us as we had fun getting to know each other and our strengths on the court.

IGSA Basketball at Loreto is such an enjoyable experience. All girls can have a go and have fun with their friends. It is a great sport to try even if you are a new player. We are very grateful for all the coaches and members of the sport department that make this experience possible for us.

Cheerleading & Cross Country

Equestrian & Football

Football at Loreto Normanhurst has always been an excellent way for students across all year groups to participate in a team sport and develop a range of skills. This past season, girls have formed peer teams or have been selected into the Junior or Senior Firsts and Seconds teams. Playing football at Normo has always been the highlight of the year for me as not only do I form new friendships, but I get to see the outstanding effort and enthusiasm of the team during training sessions pay off at the games. The improvement shown by all members of the team, especially the younger girls, highlights the dedication and energy that the players and amazing coaches put into the team. I highly encourage all girls to play football at Normo as it accounts for all levels of talent and is remarkable program offered by the school.

Rowing & Rugby 7’s

Softball & Swimming

The 2021 Tildesley Tennis season was one of speculation to begin with as we didn’t know if it would go ahead. With the structure of training looking different due to COVID-19, it was difficult for the team to bond as normal. In the end, the team had a very strong bond, and everyone was able support each other in different ways. The Tildesley team consisted of 23 girls who were amazing representatives of Loreto, and everyone participated in true Normo spirit by giving it their best go! The 2021 IGSA Tennis season was tough but rewarding, with all teams performing extremely well and giving it their best go in every round. It was great to be in a team with members of different year groups and to learn from each other, as well as form strong friendships. Overall this was a very fun season; team bonds were created and each week brought a new challenge and exciting matches. I particularly loved watching my teammates play their singles games as the level of tennis was always very thrilling and inspiring.
