Leadership Mass

Sacred Heart will be welcoming the new school year at our Leadership Mass on Wednesday 9th February 10am at Sacred Heart Church.

To adhere to CE COVID guidelines, only the Year 5 and 6 students may attend. The mass will be live streamed for the students at Sacred Heart to participate from their classrooms.

During the Liturgy the investiture of our School Captains and Year 6 Leaders will take place.

Parents of Year 6 students only, may attend the mass. We ask that a mask is worn and all parents adhere to social distancing.

School Value Focus Term 1 – Gratitude

Values are among the most precious gifts which a person can have. People have experiences: they grow and learn. 

At Sacred Heart we want to live out our values through our actions so they are authentic and lived. This term our focus is on the Value of Gratitude.

Gratitude is pausing to notice appreciate the things that we often take for granted. Making a habit of gratitude is good for mental, emotional and social well-being. Like other positive emotions, feeling grateful on a regular basis can have a big effect on our lives. 

By practising gratitude, we become more connected, compassionate, helpful, generous, forgiving, outgoing and less lonely and isolated.

The staff and students will be communicating their gratitude in a variety of ways such as in sharing circles, journal writing and to one another throughout the day.

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” ~William Arthur Ward~

✨ Community Council AGM ✨

Our AGM will be via Zoom on Tuesday 15th February. All are very welcome to attend and to propose items for discussion. 

In addition to all positions being open for election, the AGM agenda will include an update on COVID measures and a discussion of the priorities for Council in 2022. 

I have also asked for a representative from YMCA to attend so that we can have a discussion about Vacation Care and about how we can work together to drive higher attendance.

A zoom link for the meeting will be sent via SZapp on the day.
