Foundation - 5 Activity Day
Last Friday was the Foundation – Year 5 Activity Day. Each year level travelled to a different school.
A big thank you to our Year 6 students who led the sporting activities for all the Year 5 students at Sacred Heart. We were given lots of feedback about the great leadership skills of our Year 6 students.
A big thank you to the teachers and parents who assisted on this day (in very hot conditions!).
St Mary’s Summer Sport
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we never got the chance to play against St Mary’s Primary School in the Winter Sport Competition. Therefore we have decided to get together this Friday 29th November to have a sports session between recess and lunch time. The sports offered to our Year 5 and 6 students are Cricket, T-Ball, Hot Shots Tennis, Soccer, Volleyball. Students will travel by bus to this event. Students will need to wear their sports uniform and school hat and bring along their water bottle. Students need to please apply sunscreen before they leave home. The buses will leave Sacred Heart at 11.45am and return at 1:30pm. Students may still have a lunch order.

Year 5 and 6 Swimming
Our students in Year 5 and 6 will attend swimming lessons at Bluewater from Monday 9th December – Friday 13th December. Swimming is part of the school curriculum, so it is important that all the students support this program. We do need parents to assist with walking the students to and from Bluewater.
(More information will be sent out via PAM closer to the event, where you can also indicate if you can help out please)
