Dear Parents and Carers,

To our new families we send a warm welcome to SHPS and welcome back to those returning. 2022  has been quite a different start with preparing for a safe start to the school year and then a huge downpour and storm during drive through and pick up on our first day. We are delighted to be back and have all our children with us. Our new kindergarten children have settled in well and are enjoying their venture into big school.

We look forward to catching up with you soon when things have settled and the requirements have eased. In the meantime keep safe and take care.

At this time with all that has happened over the last couple of years we have chosen to focus  on the school value of Gratitude this term. 

 "Gratitude is being thankful and showing appreciation for everything we have going on in our lives. It is not something you just have, it's something you do,” Turia Pitt

Positive COVID tests and daily updates

As directed by ACT Health and Catholic Education we will notify parents and carers of the presence of COVID in our community. We will send this notice via SZapp at about 12 noon daily.

The guidelines about ‘living with COVID’ are changing rapidly. We understand it is concerning to receive notification that your child may have been exposed. In the interest of ensuring parents and carers have the most direct information, we will always defer to the most current health advice as found on the ACT COVID website Here

If your child does test positive you need to notify both ACT Health via their website Here  and Sacred Heart

Please email our office with the following details:

• your child’s name
• year group and name of teacher
• date of positive RAT
• names of siblings that may be affected and whom are subject to stay-at-home guidelines
• any other relevant information, such as whether they attended after school care or music lesson
• any information from ACT Health

Positive COVID notifications to the school will be kept private and confidential and names will not be shared. When your child has completed their isolation period and is completely well, please then send an absent note stating the dates of the period of absence and stating ‘illness’ as the reason.

Take care and keep safe
