Principal’s Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have had a very rewarding week here at Sacred Heart School. Shrove Tuesday was a lovely time to share pancakes, followed by our Ash Wednesday mass, in preparation for the Lenten season. It was refreshing to be able to share mass with parishioners and families.  

We were fortunate also to have a visit from Camp Quality who engaged our students in a puppet show that looked at ways in which we can support people we know who may be receiving care for cancer. Our students asked some very thoughtful questions and were able to improve their understanding of the challenges faced by family and friends who might be undergoing cancer treatment. 

Now that we are able to have parents on site, you are most welcome to attend our Friday assemblies, starting at 2:30pm and concluding at 2:45pm.

Parent/Teacher interviews will be held next Tuesday 15 March during the day from 9:30am until 2:30pm. Please log on to Compass to book an interview time for your child. Interview times will close on Friday so that teachers can prepare for the meetings. If there are any queries please contact the school. 

Our 2023 Transition to School program will be commencing at the beginning of Term 2. This term we will host three events for parents and new students to attend. We will be begin with an Open Morning on Wednesday 23 March, from 9am - 10am, where parents and children will be able to see how Kindergarten at Sacred Heart School works. On Wednesday 30 March we will be holding a Transition Information session for parents from 9am-9:30am to discuss the program and how it will work for this year.  Wednesday 6 April will be our Easter Hat Parade with our students here at school as well as our transition students for this year. The parade will commence at 9:30am and please bring your best decorated hat! 

If you know of anyone intending to enrol for 2023 please encourage them to contact me at the school.

As the term continues please remember that if you have any concerns, queries or questions don't hesitate to make contact with us and we can help you out. Our mission is to ensure that we can support students to feel safe, valued, cared for and respected so they can continue to be happy and engaged learners.

Take care
