New Sign in/out System
As of the beginning of Term Two we have moved to a new procedure for signing in/out your child/children if they are late arriving or leaving early. This will now be done electronically by the front office staff.
Mothers Day Invitation
The students and staff of Sacred Heart Pearce would like to invite mothers to a special assembly in the hall at 8.55am on Friday morning 7th May. Following this we welcome you to our classrooms, so your child(ren) can share with you some of their favourite activities and great learning.
No need to book, simply accompany your child to school on Friday. Due to COVID restrictions we need to limit attendance to one mother or signficant person per family. You will need to check in using the CBR app as you enter the hall and maintain social distancing throughout your visit. Please follow all directions of staff on the day.
If the restrictions cause issues for your family please phone the office. All parents are welcome to visit the school after 3.15pm other days with their child as arranged with the classroom teachers.
We congratulate Mr Mitchell and his wife Louisa on the safe arrival of their son,
George John Andrew on the 4th May weighing 4.01 kg and 51cm long.
Mr Mitchell will be taking leave until Friday 11th June and will return on Tuesday 15th
June after the long weekend.
Mrs Kerrin Henderson will be taking the class during Mr Mitchell’s absence.

SZapp – Managing your messages
SZapp is our main avenue for communicating with families. It was brought to our attention this week that some families were missing some messages. We discovered that not everyone knew to update their preferences to receive messages for a particular stage. So, within the SZapp app
- Select the MANAGE tab
- Toggle on PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
- Toggle on the name of your child’s STAGE group
We do not publish the security code for Sacred Heart in writing. Please speak to staff and other parents for our code or phone the office.
If you have the app for a number of schools, we advise you to select the DEFAULT SUBSCRIPTION to best suit you, and then carefully monitor messages from all schools.
