Getting To Know You Conversations

At Sacred Heart, we highly value the role parents/carers play in their child’s education and the relationship between school and families. Next week, you will have an opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher/s to share your child’s interests, likes/dislikes, strengths etc and ask any questions you may have. 

Children are invited to attend the conversation if parents choose to do so. 

WHEN:  Week 3 (next week)

                 Tuesday 10th February                 3.30pm - 4.30pm

                                                                               2.30pm - 5.00pm

If you are unable to make either of these times, you are invited to contact your child’s class teacher directly to arrange an alternative time.

On Wednesday afternoon/evening, 18th February,  Year Level Class Information Sessions will be held online for families to attend. In these sessions, teachers will provide helpful information about their particular year level for parents/carers to facilitate a smooth transition into a new year level and communication throughout the year.   

The sessions are not compulsory to attend however families are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about their child’s day at school, build family engagement & support the child in their learning.

Each session will be repeated twice for those who have children in different year levels. 

Slides will be made available to families after 4.30pm on the day of the information sessions.

nForma

As Operoo has now ceased operations, nForma is the school’s platform for managing the following functions:

• Digital permission forms for excursions, sports attendance etc
• Medical Information provision
• Absence notifications
• Student Academic School Reports
• Other Notices

Please ensure that you download the nForma for Parents App, so that you can use the above functions. 

Below is a link to the guide to assist you in setting up the nForma for Parents App. Please add your child/ren’s Medical Information, as per the guide. 

We will continue to use Seesaw in 2026 for the purposes it is now used for.

If you require assistance, please contact the school office on 93916262. 

Picnic in the Playground

Our welcome Picnic in the Playground will be an opportunity to gather as a learning community at the beginning of the school year to build relationships and foster connections. We look forward to sharing this time together as we begin the year.

When: Tuesday, 3rd March, 4.30pm - 6.30pm

More details will be shared at a later date. 

Parking

For the safety of our students and families, can you all please take extra care when driving around school and surrounding streets. There have been a lot of "near misses" on our pedestrian crossing, narrowingly missing Robyn our Lollipop lady and students.

Please also pay attention to the "No Standing", "No Parking" and permit zones.  Council and the Police are patrolling and have fined several families for not adhering to the signs and restrictions. Immediately out the front of school is strictly "Pick Up/Drop Off" Zone. Cars cannot be left unattended  by the driver.

Also please respect our neighbors by not parking over their driveways.

Your support and cooperation in managing traffic flow around our school is much appreciated. 

School Uniforms

At Sacred Heart, our school uniform is a symbol of belonging and unity. It helps students feel part of a supportive community where everyone is treated with dignity, kindness and  respect. Wearing the uniform also encourages a sense of responsibility and sets a positive tone for learning. By presenting themselves neatly and consistently, students reflect the values and spirit of our school.

Please support the school by ensuring your child is their correct school uniform each day.

Please ensure all items are "clearly" marked with your child's or family name.

Thank you.
