It has been an exciting and meaningful start to the school year here at Sacred Heart. We began our journey together with a beautiful Opening School Mass, where we were honoured to welcome Bishop Joseph Caddy, who celebrated with us and blessed our community for the year ahead. His inspiring words reminded us to embrace our faith and the values that guide our school community.

Our student leaders also received a special moment in the spotlight during the Commissioning Ceremony. These leaders, who have shown great enthusiasm and commitment, gathered for a Leadership Day with me that focussed on Servant Leadership. They learned the importance of leading with humility, compassion and service to others, ensuring they are ready to make a positive difference in our school and wider community. It was such a wonderful day and it reinforced to me that our future is in great hands!

I am also pleased to announce that the Sacramental Program for students in Year 4 and above has officially begun. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to deepen their faith and prepare for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. These sessions are running on Mondays at 3:15pm in the School Library and there is still time to register for this important journey in faith.

We look forward to a year full of growth, service and spiritual development.

Yours in faith,

Mrs. Hannah Coburn
Assistant Principal Religious Education
