Uniform Shop / Clothing Pool
The PTF have made a decision to recommence selling NEW uniform items from the school premises which will replace the items with emblems from Lowes Tamworth.
The Uniform Shop/Clothing Pool will ONLY be open each Thursday from 2:30-3pm with a date yet to be confirmed.
The following items will no longer be available from Lowes Tamworth:

All of these items will be stocked at school once we have taken delivery of them.
The following uniform items will still be for sale at Lowes:
Girls Winter Tunic and Summer Dress
Unisex Winter Tie
Unisex Long Sleeve Lemon Shirt (will also be available from school when delivery occurs)
Boys Short Sleeve Lemon Shirt (will also be available from school when delivery occurs)

A note will go home to parents once we have finalised a Uniform List.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.
Yr 2-6 Dubbo ZooSnooz Excursion
Parents of Yr 2-6 students were billed for the balance of $87 per student on Compass last Thursday for the excursion. Unfortunately Compass does not distinguish between school fees and excursion balance therefore parents will see one total. We are aware of this and will be applying the $87 to the excursion. If you have any issues or concerns please make contact with Ms Traynor in the office.
Please note that the excursion balance is due by Wednesday 30th August 2023.
A comprehensive note will go home closer to the date with information regarding what the children need to pack.
Premier's Reading Challenge
This year students at Sacred Heart have had the opportunity to participate in the NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC).
The NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure in students, and enables them to experience quality literature.
Students in Kindergarten to Year 2 were required to read 30 books with parental assistance if necessary. Students in Year 3-6 must read 20 books. For further information on the rules of the challenge please click here.
If your child has lost their login details please do not hesitate to contact me.
The challenge closes Friday 18th August. If you have any questions about the competition please do not hesitate to contact Tahlia Morrissey (tmorrissey@arm.catholic.edu.au).
