A message from the President
The 2023 Sacred Heart Parent Association (SHPA) AGM will take place at 6.30pm on Wednesday 22 November.
In the absence of a PA meeting prior to the AGM, pursuant to Clause 5 of the SHPA Guidelines, I am calling for nominations to the role of Vice-President. A role which has been expertly filled by Sarah Kennedy for the past 4 years.
The role of the Vice President is to:
-Liaise with the Executive regarding the agenda for each PA meeting;
-Liaise with class representatives regarding fundraising and events;
-Update the PA on fundraising activities regarding the Calendar of Events; and
- Attend PA meetings
Consistent with Clause 3.2 all roles are for a maximum 2 year term however candidates may apply again once their tenure is completed. Elections to the role will be held at the AGM.
If you are interested in the Vice-President role please complete the attached form and return via email to: elisachantelle@hotmail.com
Parents are also invited to consider being class representatives. Please note, you do not need to complete the nomination form to be a class representative. Please advise if you'd like to be a class representative via email to: elisachantelle@hotmail.com

Sacred Heart Meals Service
What is the meals service:
The Sacred Heart Meals Service is available to all Sacred Heart families that require some practical help in the form of meals at a time of need. This may be due to a very happy occasion such as a new birth in the family, or in more difficult circumstances such as a death or illness in a family.
How does it work:
The Meals Service Coordinators can be contacted by a teacher, class rep, member of the Parents Association, a friend within the school or the family members themselves. The coordinators would then contact the family to chat about what would be helpful (e.g. how often, favourite meals, dietary requirements etc) and then coordinate the service, requesting assistance from the relevant year level.
It’s important to note that we are very careful in being discreet at all times and maintaining confidentiality, ensuring the family are happy with what information (if any) is passed on to those we are asking to assist.
We can be contacted via the following methods:
Amy McIvor
Ph 0411 034 463
Caroline O’Sullivan
Ph 0419 100 964
Please feel free to reach out to either of us with any questions, we are here to help!
Kind regards,
Caroline O’Sullivan (Kitty Year 4 and Billy Year 2) and Amy McIvor (Rafferty Year 1)
