Weekes' Weekly News

Dear Sacred Heart Kew Families,

It is with pleasure, but also sadness for my fellow colleague, that I write this week's edition of Weekes’ Weekly News, whilst Ed is recovering from a cycling accident and surgery this week.

As Term 2 comes to a close, we gather our thoughts and reflect on the journey we’ve undertaken as a school community over the past 11 weeks. Some of these include: ANZAC Day, Interschool Sports, Walkathon, Mothers’ Day events, Ladies’ Lunch, Paraliturgies and Masses, Incursions and Excursions, Year 4 Camp, Senior Camp Week, District Cross Country, Sacrament of Reconciliation, Prep-4 Healthy Harold, and Prep 2025 Interviews and School Tours.

Throughout the term,  I have witnessed our students’ remarkable growth and determination. They have embraced new learning opportunities, navigated challenges with grace, and consistently demonstrated a willingness to learn, grow and support one another.

It has been a pleasure reading through the Semester One Reports over the past week. Whether in the classroom, on the playground or participating in extracurricular activities, our students have exemplified the values of curiosity, perseverance and compassion. I am extremely proud of their efforts and triumphs this semester. Please take the time to read through the Semester One Report with your child/ren and celebrate their many and varied achievements so far this year.

Our dedicated staff have been instrumental in guiding and supporting our students’ academic and personal development. I am very grateful for their enthusiasm and time spent in preparing and providing the learning opportunities for all our children.

Thank you to all our school community members, especially our dynamic Parents' Association, for your valuable contributions and continued support this semester. Our collective efforts have made a positive impact on the lives of our students.

As we pause to celebrate our achievements and recharge during the break, let us look forward to the opportunities and challenges that await us next term.
