Dear Sacred Heart Community,
Family Week
To celebrate Family Week we have whole school afternoon events planned on Thursday 18th of May. Please see the invitation below. We hope you can join us for all or part of our day.
We will begin with Family activities at 12.30pm - When you arrive you are welcome to go to your eldest child's classroom. Siblings & cousins will work together with family.
If a member of a child's family is unable to attend, we will make sure all children work with others as part of our wider Sacred Heart School Family.
For the shared lunch - it is bring your own - you may like to bring something in to share with your child or have sit and have lunch with them.
Refreshments in the staff room will be a chance to chat to other families over a tea/coffee.
We will then have a whole school assembly in the multi purpose room.
We would like to put together a photo display of all the different families we have in our Sacred Heart community - if you'd like to be a part of this could you email a family photo/s to your class teacher by Tuesday 16th.
