K-6 Complete Co-education 

The K-6 Complete co-education meeting took place earlier this term. This informal discussion was attended by parents/carers, former and current students aimed to respond to the parent/carer survey sent out at the end of Term 3.

Sacred Heart is viewed as a close-knit nurturing environment where students enjoy having a close relationship with their peers and teachers. This dosen't always continue into high school. Inquiry-based curriculum continues to build our children’s skills and knowledge from Kindergarten through to Year 6.

There are a multitude of leadership opportunities in Years 5/6 that allow the senior students to interact with the junior students. This encourages cross year friendships to form whilst developing important leadership skills.

There are many co-curricular activities for the children to take part in.There are also several ways the school can communicate with parents/carers.  

Some facts to share:

• Sacred Heart teaching staff is 23% male.
• Student gender ratio in 2019 Kindergarten - Year 3 is 55% male.
• Year 6 is 14% male.
• Year 5 is 17% male.
• Year 4 is 25% male.

What will 2020 look like?
