Principal’s Message

9:1Dear Parents and Carers,

Quite unbelievably, we have commenced the second half of Term 1. Over the next five weeks there are many opportunities for parents and the community to join together with the school in upcoming events.

Personalised Plan meetings will be held for K-2 this Wednesday 8 March. We have needed to make some alternate arrangements for Yr 3-6 and I will contact you regarding dates. These meetings are held for 25 minutes and will focus on co-planning learning goals and classroom adjustments for your child. As a result you will not need to arrange a Parent Teacher Interview later in the term when these are scheduled.

Parent Teacher Interviews for Term 1 will occur on Tuesday 28 March. Interviews will be of a ten minute duration and will take place during the day. A Conference event will be sent out for you to make your bookings.

This Tuesday 7 March will see the first meeting of the School Advisory Council for 2023 and will commence at 5:30pm. 

NAPLAN assessments this year have been moved from May to MARCH. Please go to the Important Information tab for a detailed description about NAPLAN and the dates of each assessment.

Transition for 2024 Kindergarten students will commence on Thursday 27 April (Week 1 Term 2). To assist with the beginning of the transition program we will be holding the following events at the end of this term:

Tuesday 21 March - Enrolment meetings for students commencing Kindergarten in 2024. Please contact the office to book in your time.

Thursday 30 March - Parent Information Session 9:15 am - 10 am. At this time, the new Transition students will be in the K-2 classroom participating in an Easter Hat craft activity. 

Thursday 6 April- Transition students join in the Easter Hat parade, with their hats from 9am- 9:30am.

As the weather is still quite hot parents are reminded to ensure that their child/ren come to school with plenty of water.

If you know of anyone wishing to enrol their child for 2024 and participate in the transition program this year, please let me know. Program details and enrolment forms are available by contacting Ms Traynor in the Office.

If you know of anyone who is intending to enrol at Sacred Heart either in Kindergarten or any other year group for 2023, please encourage them to contact me at school. 

Take care,

Kath Baird
