NEW - Feast of the Sacred Heart

The Feast of the Sacred Heart will be celebrated on Friday 7th of June with Mass at 9:15am. Students are to wear sports uniform, with a plain t-shirt in their house colour, on Friday as they will be participating in rotation sports.  

NEW - National Reconciliation Week

Last week, Sacred Heart School worked together to commemorate National Reconciliation Week. All classes have worked on this beautiful symbolic piece of art. Each leaf represents everyone’s commitment to learning, understanding and respecting First Nation's culture. We have created a Long Neck Turtle using the leaves that we decorated. The Long Neck Turtle is Yorta Yorta’s totem and leaves that make its shell represent the land. You will find our long neck turtle in the foyer and it will be a reminder of our commitment to Reconciliation.

NEW - Fortnight in Foundation

Another busy fortnight finished off with Milo’s Surprise Birthday! The children had a wonderful time celebrating their learning of the alphabet with our party. Dressed up as characters from Milo’s story they participated in learning and party games with a twist of literacy.

Last week we participated in activities to provide understanding and knowledge of reconciliation as part of Reconciliation Week. 

Our learning has focused on revision of the letters and sounds and in Mathematics shapes around us and numbers.  

Lastly children have adapted well to the the change of leaving their lunchboxes in their bags and bringing in only their fruit each morning. Well done.

We look forward to the next fortnight in Foundation where it will be getting close to the end of the term and Parent Teacher Interviews.

NEW - Year 6 Sustainability Leadership Update

We are really pleased with our compost bin system! Last year the Sustainability Team received a Greater Shepparton Council Community Sustainability Grant for our project 'Organic waste is gold!' These compost bins were then constructed by Bryan Cronyn. 

Last year we noticed a lot of organic waste going into general waste bins. We organised every classroom to have a compost caddy, so now this organic waste is either put in the green council bin or our compost bin. Our next goal is to work on how to turn this green waste into nutritious compost for our vegetable garden. 

We are also currently holding a competition for three weeks, to see which unit has the tidiest eating area and uses their bins correctly. We will be secretly judging throughout the three weeks and the reward of hot chips will go to the winning unit! Families can support students by supplying package free lunchboxes where possible. Thanks,

Year 6 Sustainability Team and Mrs Cassetta

NEW - Library

The library shelves have been stocked with dyslexia friendly books, with new ones being ordered regularly. These books have accessible layout and spacing on off-white, heavier paper to help reduce visual stress. Furthermore, the font is chosen specifically because many people with dyslexia find it easier to read. Posters are in the library to remind students that they can find the dyslexia friendly books by looking for the 'yellow dot' on the spine, or by searching 'dyslexia friendly' on our Library web page - https://au.accessit.online/SCR23/#!dashboard. Students have been informed that if they don't have dyslexia they can still borrow these books.

NEW - Art

Congratulations to these students for their effort in the Art Studio for weeks 4 & 5.
