Dear Sacred Heart Community
Prayer
I pray for a world where:
We pray for our beautiful student Samantha who is in ICU as I write. Samantha continues to receive the best of care at the Royal Children's Hospital and the love of her caring sister Suzanna and devoted mum Damira. It is an incredibly challenging time for the family and I know that your care, support and prayers are very gratefully received by Damira.

Big Big Big Parents and Friend's News!!
A heartfelt thank you and congratulations to our two parents who have very kindly accepted Parents and Friends leadership positions for 2024. Monica mum of Ethan and Amy will be our President, and Tendayi mum of Ishe and Azariah will be our Vice President.
I know that both mum's passion for our school will continue to see another great year of Parents and Friends initiatives. Monica and Tendayi are looking forward to working with our great parent community harnessing ideas, capturing everyone's enthusiasm and organising some great social and fundraising activities.
A Special Christmas Gift For Our Staff
A Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) Christmas advertising campaign will be launching next month. Following the success of last year’s campaign, the focus this year will be on giving the biggest thanks possible to our school staff.
To make this year’s campaign even more significant, MACS are giving students the opportunity to be part of it. An online form has been created where students can post their messages of thanks to teachers who have helped them flourish.
Excitingly, some of these messages will feature on advertising billboards across the Archdiocese of Melbourne, and in future communications as part of the campaign and into 2024.
The online form is only open until 1st December. As the form needs parent consent, I ask that if you and your child are interested in participating you please contact me for the link
