Archbishop Christopher Prowse has inaugurated a Year of Walking Together as an Archdiocese. Evangelisation is at the heart of Synodality and intrinsic to the follow-up recommendations of the Plenary Council of Australia.

Here is a link to the Archbishop’s article in the Catholic Voice, Three Fundamentals of Catholic Reaching on Evangelisation.

If it is their sports day they are to just wear their sports uniform.

Any questions contact the Front Office or Mrs Stumbles. 

Sporting Clubs in our Community

It’s a fantastic time of year to start thinking about how students can be active in our community.

Many of our students play netplay and soccer on the weekend. Sacred Heart students often join our local netball club at Arawang, where they can play for the school. Soccer players often join the Woden-Weston Football club, and nominate school friends who they might want to play in a team with.

For other sports, please follow this link to Sporting Schools Find a Club page. With so many options, there is something for everyone!
