Principal’s Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Week 4! 

Congratulations to Mrs Goddard, staff and students for organising and participating in our annual swimming carnival last Wednesday. It was an excellent opportunity for our school community t celebrate the achievements of all stduents.

This week Year 6 will be selling icy poles at lunch time as a part of their fundraising efforts for 2023. Icy pole are $1 each and will be sold during the second half of lunch.

The annual Student Residential Address and Other Information Collection process will be sent out via Compass today for you to read. If there are concerns please contact the school.

We will be hosting our Parent Information Night/ PTF AGM on Tuesday 14 February at 5:30pm. During the information session we will discuss ways to help your child navigate 2023 and welcome all parents to stay for the PTF AGM.

The Year 6 t-shirts for 2023 will be decided upon and ordered by the end of next week to ensure their arrival before the end of Term 1. The approximate price of the t-shirts will be $50 and we are looking at offering Year 6 only, the option of ordering a school guernsey that may be worn on sports days or when representing the school. If you are interested in purchasing the additional guernsey for your child, please contact the school by the end of this week.  We endeavour to have an approximate price for the guernsey by the end of this week.

Ash Wednesday is next Wednesday 22 February and we will be joining with the parish in Mass at 12:30pm in the church. During this Mass we will also be inducting our student leaders: School and Sports captains as well as the Student Representative Council. SRC nominations and elections will be held this week and if your child is elected as an SRC member you will be notified by the end of this week.

On Tuesday 21 February it will be Shrove Tuesday and we will be having pancakes at school. If your child has a dietary requirement please make contact with their class teacher.

Advertising for our 2023 transition program has commenced. If you know of anyone wishing to enrol their child for 2024 and participate in the transition program this year, please let me know. Program details and enrolment forms are available by contacting Ms Traynor in the Office.

If you know of anyone who is intending to enrol at Sacred Heart either in Kindergarten or any other year group for 2023, please encourage them to contact me at school.
