Normanhurst was among the oldest private schools for girls in New South Wales, founded in 1882 many brilliant students have passed through its class-rooms. From a small beginning it had developed into imposing dimensions, and in the grounds there were two houses, one dedicated to Mrs Stiles and the other to Miss Jennings, who was princinal at the college.
