As we reach the halfway mark of our final year in Primary School, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared so far. It’s been a joy and a privilege to watch your children grow into their roles as seniors at Our Lady of Sacred Heart School, showing The Heart Way in all, they do—leading with kindness, respect, and responsibility. 

Our Year 6 students have truly embraced the responsibility of being role models. Whether it’s supporting our Preps with activities and friendship, or simply being that smiling face in the playground, they’ve created bonds that will be remembered long after this year ends. They are not just leaders—they are buddies for life. 

One of the proudest moments this term was watching our class perform with pride and passion during NAIDOC celebrations. Their dancing and singing were not only beautiful but a powerful expression of cultural pride. Visiting the Star of the Sea and sharing artwork, playing games and creating joyful memories with our Elders was another highlight—our students showed such maturity and respect, and their warmth brought smiles to many faces. 

I also want to thank our wonderful families for your incredible support during our school camp fundraising. The meals you prepared were not only delicious but made with love, and your generosity and teamwork have made a real difference. You are amazing! 

Mr Pedro thank you once again for your wonderful donation of a Doherie for our Yr 6 raffle and for Dora Cowley who lovingly made beautiful flower headbands for our Yr 6 girls. Thank you to all the parents who contributed to our Yr 6 Half-way to graduation party, the food was awesome. 

As a class, we continue to grow together—not just in our learning, but in how we support and uplift one another. That sense of unity and care is what makes this group so special. Our senior leaders representing our school at many events like Reader’s Cup, aeroplane blessings, makes us truly proud of all their efforts. Esta-Ann well done with your sprinting trials, we love your commitment to training and doing our school proud. 

I’m truly looking forward to teaching your wonderful children again in Term 3. Until then, may your holidays be safe, joyful, and filled with blessings.
