• Please send a water bottle to school each day with your child. Our school bubblers are still closed due to COVID-19. A water bottle filling station is available in the senior corridor.
• Due to a shortage of relief teachers, when staff are ill we may use split class 'day away work' or collapse two classes together. We are managing well at the moment but make decisions around class management in response to daily need.
• If families have any clothes hangers with clips to donate to the clothing pool, could they please bring them to the front office.

Walkathlon

The Walkathon is one of our fundraisers for the year. Money raised will go towards updating the wireless access point and audio equipment in the hall so we are creating a better entertainment experience for school assemblies, discos and functions.

There will be a raffle drawn on Friday 22^nd July (Week 1 Term 3). For every $5 raised, the student will receive one raffle ticket. Qkr! is the preferred option for money raised, however cash will be accepted. All sponsorship donations must be finalised by Wednesday 20^th July to enter the raffle.

Sports Wrap Up

Athletics Carnival

We had a wonderful day and we cannot thank you enough for your support on the day. The winning house was Conway, the first time since 2015.

Netball

Students from 3/4 participated in a Netball gala on Tuesday. Rain throughout the day meant that it was cancelled midway through the day, however, reports from the students said they had an awesome day. Thank you to Mr Mitchell, Ms Mynott and Mrs Barrenger for taking the students for the day. 

5/6 Students are participating in their gala day tomorrow with Miss Klomp.

Cross Country

Last week, 4 students from Sacred Heart ran in the ACT Cross Country Championships, Josh K, Scarlett Mc, Imogen H and Olivia G. All students finished in the top 20 with Olivia G winning her 12yrs age group. Congratulations to everyone on their achievement and we wish Olivia good luck in future races. 

So much sport happening at Sacred Heart, can't wait for Term 3.
