Welcome back to Term 4! 

We hope all Sacred Heart students and families enjoyed a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable holiday break. It has been fantastic to see students return to school with enthusiasm, energy, and a positive attitude towards learning and physical activity. 

Term 4 promises to be an exciting one for Physical Education and Sport. Throughout the term, students will continue developing their skills, teamwork, sportsmanship, and confidence through a variety of engaging activities and games. Students will focus on Bat and Ball games in junior years and in senior years there will be a focus on Cricket and preparing for our Kanga Cricket Gala Day with students from Yarrawonga P-12.  

A reminder to families that students should come prepared for PE lessons by wearing the correct sport uniform, always having a hat and bringing a water bottle. Students are also encouraged to apply sunscreen before PE lessons.  

Thank you to our students and families for your continued support of Physical Education and Sport at Sacred Heart. We look forward to an active, enjoyable, and successful term ahead. 

Good luck to our students who will be representing the school at the O&M Divisional Athletics meet this Friday in Wangaratta. We wish these students all the very best.

Mr O’Dwyer

At Sacred Heart, we encourage all families to help create a positive and supportive sporting environment for our students. School sport is an opportunity for children to build confidence, develop skills, experience teamwork and most importantly, have fun. We ask that all spectators model respectful and encouraging behaviour by celebrating effort, showing good sportsmanship and supporting all students, officials and staff. By working together, we can ensure school sport remains an inclusive and enjoyable experience for everyone involved
