School Uniform Reminder - Shoes

A reminder that children are expected to be in full school uniform on days that they do not have PE lessons. In regards to shoes, other than for PE lesson days, children need to be wearing black school shoes. We do permit all black runners if they are of good quality and support the child's foot appropriately as part of the school uniform as we recognise that some brands will meet this criteria and look more like a runner than traditional school shoe.

Some examples of what would be acceptable as a school shoe are shown below:

Other more traditional school shoes are also appropriate.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office or speak to a member of the leadership team.

WINTER UNIFORM

A reminder also that children should be in winter uniform for the start of Term 2. Our school uniform can be purchased from PSW. Our Sacred Heart beanies are a wonderful addition to the school uniform list and are very popular as the days get cooler. They are the only beanies that children are permitted to wear to school.

PREP Enrolment 2027

Enrolments are now open for students beginning Prep in 2027 at Sacred Heart Primary School for both new and current families.

School Fees

The preferred option for payment of school fees is via the CDFpay App by setting up payments either via credit card (fees apply) or direct debit (no fees). Please see below for information and instructions on how to set up the CDFpay App.

Alternatively, payments can be made using the following options:

Electronic Bank Transfer/Direct Debit (families will need to keep track of their own payments): School Bank details are shown on the bottom of your school fee statement. Please quote your FAMILY NAME as reference
Cash or Credit Card /EftPOS (Visa or Mastercard only) via the school office – a receipt will be issued for these payments only.

Thank you to the families who have already set up their school fee payments. If you have any questions regarding school fees or require further assistance, please contact Mary at the school office.

CDFpay App

What you need to do

Please follow these instructions to register for a CDFpay account for payment of school fees:

Enter and confirm your email address, then click ‘Sign up’.
Tip: CDFpay automatically links your school fees when your CDFpay email matches the primary email address on file at your school.

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.
