Olympics Unleashed Program

On Friday 30/4, Stage 2 & 3 had the privilege of welcoming Australian and Canberra Capitals Basketball star, Marianna Tolo as part of the Olympics Unleashed Program. The program is designed for Olympic athletes to come into schools and talk about their Olympic journey ahead of the Tokyo Olympics this year.  

Marianna spoke about her career, her injuries, her drive, and resilience she needed to become one of Australia's and Canberra's best basketballers. 

Marianna showed the students how to shoot the perfect basketball shot and spoke to them about how to achieve their dreams in the future. She also showed them her Championship Ring and Pendant as well as a bronze medal she won. 

We were extremely lucky to have Marianna at our school and we gave her the biggest Sacred Heart send off we could, filled with good luck for the coming Olympics!

Sacred Heart students participated in their first session of Peer Support last Friday 30th May. The Year 6 student leaders facilitated activities which enabled the children to get to know everyone in the group. The group then discussed and agreed on how they would work well together and interact cooperatively with others. The leaders introduced the meaning of optimism and what it means to be optimistic.

A wonderful and positive start to Peer Support.
