Dear Parents and Carers,
A short refelection on the Sacred Heart of Jesus from our celebration of Feast Day.
“For human beings, the heart symbolises the very centre of our being since it is the organ that keeps us alive by pumping blood around the whole body. It also symbolises the depths of our feelings and therefore our capacity for love. We speak of being ‘heart-broken’ when something tragic happens to us, when someone we love dies, a friend betrays us or our love is rejected. When we desire to be close to others we refer to ‘speaking from the heart’ or having a ‘heart to heart’ conversation.
All of this tells us much about why Jesus desired a devotion to his Sacred Heart. He wanted to be close to us, to reveal to us the depths of his love for us, and to call us to respond to this love by loving him in return and extending that love to others. Indeed he gave the commandment to his followers to ‘Love one another as I have loved you’ (John 15: 12).
Since St John told us that ‘God is love’ (1 John 4:8), devotion to the Sacred Heart is nothing other than acknowledging and reinforcing this revelation of who God is, and asking us to enter more deeply into his love.” From the Melbourne Catholic Website.
Last Thursday was certainly an expression of God's Love from the heart of our SHPS community. The day of service and care for others was a huge success that was enjoyed by all. We extend our thanks to Mr Fox for envisaging, organising and coordinating the event.
Thank you to:
- the staff for ensuring its success
- the parents who made time to join us
- the students for their energy and enthusiasm
- families for their generous donations
- parish staff for helping the students with care packs
Yours faithfully,
Anne Staines

ICAS Assessments will be during September
Enrolments open now!
Sacred Heart is proud to partner with UNSW Global to offer its annual ICAS Assessments. We’re delighted to inform you that we will be participating in ICAS again this year, to recognise and reward students’ academic achievement.
Participation is completely optionally. Parents and carers can register and pay for any assessments they wish their child to participate. The assessment is now fully online and sitting dates will commence in Term 3 between the dates of September 3 – 19. The assessments will be hosted at school, with a teacher supervising the students participating at an available time on the nominated date. Learn more by visiting unsw.global/icas.
Enrolment and payment for the individual assessments will be via an online portal. Please download the ICAS Permission & Payment Letter, or pick up a copy from the front office.

Ordering a canteen lunch for your child(ren)
Tracey and her small band of capable helpers in the canteen are going above and beyond to cater for the growing number of children each day who turn up at lunch time expecting a lunch order, but the order has not been placed on Qkr! and thus not prepared.
We ask families to ensure they place orders the night before, so in the busyness of the morning ordering is not forgotten. Tracey will always provide your child with something to eat and advise you of the cost – it may however, not be what your child was expecting to order.
If you are experiencing difficulties with ordering via Qkr! please let us know.
Thank you to the Community Council
Thank you to the Community Council for providing a wonderful Clay Pot Indian lunch to the staff on Wednesday for their hard work throughout the term.
Yours Faithfully,
Assistant Principal
On Thursday 27th June we celebrate Sacred Heart Feast Day. To mark this we are looking to begin a new tradition of service in our community, helping our students and school to give back to the community. “Charity is the cement which binds us closer to God,” St Vincent de Paul.
The students from Kindergarten to Year 6 will be involved in completing different acts of service throughout the day. To support the efforts of our children we are asking for your support. We are seeking volunteers to help on the day, either in class or at the different rotations. Also we are asking for donations of different ingredients and materials to make this day a success. Below is a list of things that we require. Any excess ingredients that we end up with will be donated to either OzHarvest and/or St. John’s Food Pantry.

Peer Support Session
Sessions 5 and 6
In our Peer Support session we learnt about being responsible, making the right choices and our rights. We used some pictures to see who was being responsible and had a discussion about that. It was great to share ideas and learn from each other. The last activity involved understanding our rights and respecting the rights of others and that we cannot always get our own way. Peer Support was a fun and enjoyable session and all the students learnt alot about responsibility and rights.
