Dear Sacred Heart community,

What a fantastic evening we had last Friday night at our Twilight Fair! Seeing our school community come together for such an enjoyable event filled with rides, stalls, food, and laughter was wonderful. The weather was kind to us, too. We are still finalising the exact amount (with reimbursements etc) but will announce the final figure, and congratulate all our winners and sponsors shortly. All money raised is going towards the school fence and literacy resources.  Thank you to Mrs Kat Doyle, our dedicated Fair Coordinator, and her hardworking committee for the countless hours spent planning and organising. Additionally, we appreciate Mrs. Kerry Wode's efforts at the school level and our dedicated staff committee members who made it all possible. What a night to remember!

Kindergarten Orientation Day

We welcomed nearly 40 eager pre-schoolers and their parents this morning for our Kindergarten Orientation Day. Seeing the excitement as our future Kindergarten students explored their new classrooms and met some of our teachers was wonderful. We look forward to welcoming our new students and their families into our Sacred Heart community next year. I am pleased to announce our Kindergarten teaching team for 2025:

• Kindergarten Red: Mrs. Sam Peake (Mon-Tue), Mrs. Jessica Mynott (Wed-Fri)
• Kindergarten White: Mrs. Jessica Pearson-Lee (Mon-Tue), Mrs. Meg Baldry (Wed-Fri)

Our team is enthusiastic and ready to start an incredible learning journey with our newest students.

Remembrance Day Service

Our school and parish community gathered for a solemn Remembrance Day service last Monday. This day is a meaningful time to pause, reflect, and honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country. We come together each year to teach our students the importance of remembrance, instilling deep respect and gratitude for those who have given their lives for our freedom and peace. The beautiful service allowed us to collectively reflect on peace, courage, and unity and pray for peace in our world.

In faith and partnership,

David Austin
