Dear Sacred Heart Community
The end of each school year is tinged with mixed emotions, excitement about the holidays and a new school year with all its promises, is intertwined with farewelling students, families and staff, who are embarking on the next stage of their life journey. To our Year Six students, thank you for the way you have embraced life at Sacred Heart School. Thank you for your contributions to our school during your time here. Thank you for the leadership you have displayed this year, and the great role models you have been to our younger students. I would like to wish you every happiness, well being and success, as you enter the next very exciting stage of your life journey.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the following families who have their last child departing our school this year. Thank you for the trust you have placed in our school, support and willingness to work with us. We also wish you every success and happiness for the future.
