Dear Sacred Heart Community,

This coming week I have the privilege of presenting at the Australian Catholic Education Conference. It is an honour to share the story of our community on a national stage, and I am filled with immense pride that 20 of our students will also be performing at the conference, representing not only Sacred Heart but the entire Torres Strait region. What an incredible moment this will be for our school.

Here at home, there is plenty of hard work happening, both in classrooms, where learning is alive and strong, and across the campus as we continue to improve facilities and resources to support student growth. We warmly welcome Ms Kelly Dare, who is replacing Ms Chris Bell while she takes long service leave to be with family. We also welcome Mr Jason Atkins, a teacher himself, who has generously stepped into the role of Groundsperson for the foreseeable future.

A special thank you to Mr Lochie Dunford for organising such a successful Athletics Carnival on Friday. Congratulations to all students who competed with courage and spirit. The final house scores were:

• Doyle – 770

• McDermott – 703

• Barrett – 694

Well done to Doyle House on taking out the Athletics Carnival this year!

Thank you for your ongoing support as we continue to celebrate our students’ gifts and achievements.

Warm regards,
David Graham
Principal
