Education in Faith

A huge WOW and thank you to our wonderful school community for your incredible generosity with both donations and pancake mix for Shrove Tuesday! After a rough count, we’re already over $800 raised! An amazing effort that will make a real difference. A special thank you to the parents and teachers who came in early to cook and make sure there were enough pancakes for everyone. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you all for your kindness and support.

Our Opening School Mass was just gorgeous, and the students read so beautifully. Our School Captains and RE Leaders did a wonderful job, as did all the students from Years 1–6 who read and carried up the prayer cloths. We are so proud of all our students and grateful to everyone who helped make these celebrations so special.

School Prayer 

From dawn till dusk I think of you and what you’ve done for me,

We ask that you watch over us and our Sacred Heart family,

As you guide us through this long journey of life,

We proudly represent our school in the navy, red and white.

Every day the Gifts of the Spirit we endeavour to use,

Help us try our hardest and guide us in the new adventures we choose.

We thank you for the fruit from the trees and light from the sun,

For our friends and teachers who make our school days fun.

Help us to love and forgive each other and demonstrate our faith,

We pray for all the special people in our lives, keep them happy and safe,

Let us appreciate what we have and be more like Jesus in every way,

May God’s wisdom be in our hearts and in our minds as we learn each day.

Amen

Sacred Heart of Jesus

Have Mercy on Us
