NEW - Shepparton Division Cross Country
On Friday the 13th of May, the placegetters from our Sacred Heart Cross Country day went on to participate in the Shepparton District Cross Country at Princess Park.
The day commenced with the 10-year-old runners with Max Reid and Kallen Organ taking the starting line. The boys ran a great race and just missed out on qualifying for the next stage. Well done boys!
Our second race was run by our 10-year-old girls, Isabella Cameron, Grace McKinnon and Eva Minutoli. All three girls did a fantastic job. All three girls ran a fantastic race with Bella squeezing into the Top 12, qualifying for the next stage. Well done to all the girls! Next up were the 11-year-old boys. Spencer Connors and Emerson Brady did their best, despite battling illness and injury the boys were able to complete their races and did us all proud with their resilience and determination. Well done boys.
Following the 11-year-old boys were the girls. Madison Worm, Char Whitford and Danni Do-Le ran their hearts out and did the school proud. Madi ran amazingly, finishing in the Top 12, qualifying for the next stage. Well done girls.
The final two races were run by our 12-year-old boys and girls. The boys were first up, Aryan Shetty, Kane Organ and Sidney Nihill were our runners. As soon as the race began it started to rain! Fortunately, that didn’t bother our boys one bit. Sidney finished the race in the Top 12, qualifying for the next stage. Kane (with a broken arm) finished not long after followed closely by Aryan. Sure, enough the minute the race finished the rain did too!
Finally, it was our 12-year-old girl's turn. In this race we were represented by Tori Wellington and Ruby Dalton. Unfortunately, Emma Quinlan was unable to run due to an inflamed tendon in her foot, on doctor’s orders she had to rest it! The girls did such a fantastic job. Despite Ruby slipping in mud, she was able to finish in the race with Tori following close behind her. Sidney, Madi and Bella all managed to finish in the Top 12 in their respective races, meaning that they have been asked to run in the next stage, competing in the Hume Region Cross Country that will be held in Euroa on Friday 17th of June.
We are all very proud of all of our runners!

NEW - Art Term 2
Who are we? Where are we? Where are we going? Where does this road lead?
Grade 5/6 students investigated the colourful landscapes of contemporary artist, Grant Haffner. After mastering the skill of 1-point perspective drawing, students designed their own colourful landscapes by choosing their colour palette and tone and created a straight and narrow or wonderfully winding road - to lead us, the viewer, off into the distance.
Grade 3/4 students studied the wonderful abstract world of Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky was a Russian artist born in 1866. From an early age he discovered that he had a condition called Synaesthesia. Synaesthesia is when you experience one of your senses through another; in Kandinsky’s case, when he painted he heard sounds like music and when he listened to music, he saw colour. How amazing!
Kandinsky is thought of as the forefather of Abstract art. Lots of shapes, lines and of course, colour. Take a look at our Kandinsky inspired Concentric Circles (F-2) and our very own abstract masterpieces (3/4).
