SPECIAL EVENTS
Grandparents’ Day
The school celebrates family life by holding a Grandparents’ Day during the year. Grandparents or other valued family members are invited to the school to attend Mass, enjoy morning tea and visit classrooms. Numbers have been growing each year with some grandparents visiting from interstate.
Book Week
Book Week is usually celebrated during August and often includes a Book Parade when the children can dress up as their favourite book characters. A Book Fair is also held where parents are encouraged to purchase books and novelties from the wide range available. The school receives a percentage of sales by way of additional books for the Library.
Japanese Day
Japanese Day, generally an annual event, provides all the children with an opportunity to dress in character for the day or in the Japanese national colour of red. A variety of fun activities are planned and an Japanese lunch

School Production/Musical (Biennial)
Every two years, the Sacred Heart students proudly present a musical/school production. This show involves all students in our school, with our Year 5 and 6 students taking all principal roles. Our Prep to Year 4 students take the ensemble roles in the production. Within the Victorian Curriculum we have a broad range of Art subjects, which include dance, drama and music. As a school, we are mandated to cover these subjects over a two year cycle, and all children have an entitlement to access these curriculum areas. Our musical production is a wonderful experience for our community and enriches student learning in all aspects of The Arts.
