Principal’s Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Week 9! 

Congratulations to our Year 3 and 5 students who are half way through their NAPLAN assessments for this year. With the final two assessments to be completed this week, please ensure that your child has had plenty of rest the night before and a good breakfast the morning of each assessment. 

It is important to remember that while NAPLAN is one of the metrics that we use to track student progress, it is not the only metric to track progress. Students have been well prepared for the assessments and will no-doubt give of their best. Parents and students are encouraged to approach these assessments in a calm manner. Please go to the Important Information tab for a detailed description about NAPLAN and the dates of each assessment.

Parent Teacher Interviews for Term 1 will occur on Tuesday 28 March. Interviews will be of a ten minute duration and will take place during the day. A Conference event will be sent out for you to make your bookings. 

Transition for 2024 Kindergarten students will commence on Thursday 27 April (Week 1 Term 2). To assist with the beginning of the transition program we will be holding the following events at the end of this term:

Tuesday 21 March - Enrolment meetings for students commencing Kindergarten in 2024. Please contact the office to book in your time.

Thursday 30 March - Parent Information Session 9:15 am - 10 am. At this time, the new Transition students will be in the K-2 classroom participating in an Easter Hat craft activity. 

Thursday 6 April- Transition students join in the Easter Hat parade, with their hats from 9am- 9:30am.

Our students will participate in a bus safety session this week. Bus safety education sessions are an important way to remind students of how to ride safely when travelling to and from school, or whilst on a school excursion.  

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. 

Happy birthday to Alexis who celebrates her 5th birthday on Wednesday 22 March. We hope you have a great day!

Take care,

Kath Baird
