If eligible under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), your child may receive FREE dental care, making this a valuable and accessible service for families.
To secure your child’s place, simply complete the E-form by the cut-off date October 8th 2026.

NO DOGS ON THE SCHOOL YARD
A friendly reminder to families that dogs are not permitted on school grounds before, during or after school hours. While we know that many families walk their dog for school drop off or pick up, this requirement helps ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of all students, staff and visitors.
We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
SCHOOL UNIFORM REMINDERS
We ask for your support in ensuring that students are attending school in the correct Sacred Heart school uniform each day. PE uniform and runners should only be worn on days that students have PE.
All shoulder length hair needs to be tied up/back with hair ties or scruchies. There have been quite a few cases of headlice in recent weeks.
The correct uniform can be viewed on the PSW website.
Please note the attached letter from the Uniform Group PSW regarding price adjustments for school uniforms as of the 1st October.
