Newsletter 2024 Term 1-27th March

Sacred Heart Primary School is committed to child safety.
We believe all children have the right to feel safe and to be safe.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Custodians

Sacred Heart acknowledges the traditional custodians
of the land on which this school is built.
We commit ourselves to working in partnership with
Aboriginal people for reconciliation and justice.

This week we enter Holy week. This period invites us to contemplate the journey of Jesus towards his crucifixion and resurrection, embodying themes of sacrifice, redemption, and ultimate triumph over darkness. As parents and members of the Sacred Heart Primary School community, let us use this time to deepen our connection to our faith and to impart its lessons of love, compassion, and forgiveness to our children. May this season inspire us to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, embodying his teachings of kindness, humility, and unwavering faith. Together, may we embrace the hope and promise of Easter, celebrating the resurrection and the eternal light it brings to our lives.

Principals Report

Dear Parents and Carers

It is hard to believe we have entered the final week of term. I would like to thank you for all your support throughout Term One. Everyone has made a fantastic start to the year. I wish you all a very joyous and happy Easter and hope that you enjoy some time with your family and friends during this break. We will see everyone back at school on Monday, April 15th.

A special thank you to Rob Connell and her band of helpers for all their organisation and support in preparing our Easter Raffle. Thank you also to our families for your generous donations. We will announce our raffle winners after our Easter paraliturgy tomorrow at 11.40am. Parents and family are most welcome to attend.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus continue to watch over our school and parish community.

Take Care
