St Brigid's School Advisory Council

Did you know St Brigid’s has a School Advisory Council? This group of staff, parents and parish representatives meet twice per term (for an hour in the evening) and provide valuable input on school matters.

 

The following are some examples of the many ways the School Advisory Council may support the school and the principal:

  • Articulating and enacting the school’s vision and mission
  • Promoting the school’s Catholic ethos and culture
  • Promoting faith formation and development
  • Supporting school policies as required
  • Advising the principal on issues such as school improvement plans and enrolment trends
  • Engaging in discussions with the principal about the annual school budget and other financial matters
  • Advising the principal about the school master plan
  • Providing capital resource planning and maintenance support to the principal.

Below are some of the Key Achievements the Council has assisted with in 2023/2024:

  • Grass area
  • New Building
  • Grounds and maintenance
  • School uniform

We currently have openings for additional parent representatives. If you’re keen to join, talk to one of the members below or contact The School Advisory Team at sac@sbgisborne.catholic.edu.au

Sacred Heart Year 7 2026

Dear Parents/Carers/Guardians of Year 5 students,

The partnership between Parish Primary Schools and local Catholic secondary schools such as Sacred Heart College is an important one.  We share the same foundations in faith and recognise parents as first educators of children.  

 

I am writing today as you make the fundamentally important decision of which secondary school is right for your daughter or son.  I am aware that there are local independent schools that are asking for early enrolment commitments to guarantee places at Year 7.  Given that, it is important to note that the criteria for enrolment at Sacred Heart College (and all Catholic secondary schools in the Melbourne Archdiocese) gives priority to students who are enrolled in a Parish Primary School.  Students who have received the sacraments have a higher priority, but we expect all students who submit an enrolment application by the closing date (Friday 26 July) and are enrolled at a Parish Primary School will be offered an enrolment place for Year 7 2026.

 

If you have any questions on this, please contact Mrs Denise Lawrence (Sacred Heart College Registrar) on 54211200 or dlawrence@shckyneton.catholic.edu.au.
