This week’s prayer celebrates the arrival of spring in the Macedon Ranges with blossoms on trees, daffodils in gardens and unpredictable weather - clear signs that winter is passing. I hope that last weekend’s storms did not cause too many problems to members of the Sacred Heart College community.
Important Correspondence
Earlier this week, a number of important letters were distributed:
- Details of possible changes to bus access with some families to be subject to State Government charges; and
- Details of the 2025 Parent Purchase laptop program for prospective Year 7 & 10 students.
Families who did not receive this correspondence can access it via PAM, Knowledge Bank, Documentation for Families.
Catholic Identity and Religious Education Week
The College is currently undertaking a review of all aspects of Religious Education and Catholic Identity across the school – leadership, programs, curriculum and faith formation. These aspects are critical and foundational to Sacred Heart College’s mission as a Catholic school in the Mercy tradition and, therefore, it is important to explore any opportunities for improvement. The review will be conducted by the College Principal and will include interviews with members of the College Leadership Team, leading RE teachers and representative students.
College Activities
- A busy few weeks of camps concluded last week with the Year 10 Alpine Camp. The success of this camp was especially pleasing given the challenges presented by the weather. Congratulations to all students and staff but especially the College Camps Coordinator, Ms Kirsty Barnes.
- There have also been some wonderful sporting achievements which are detailed further on in the Newsletter.
- It was wonderful to see so many families enjoying Father's Day Breakfast last Friday. A big thank you to the Hospitality students and staff for their efforts, as well as their preparations throughout the week. Thank you also to our talented musicians who added to the atmosphere with their performances. All the photos taken throughout the breakfast can be accessed in the Newsletter.
- The final three weeks of term will include a range of activities highlighting different themes and learning areas: This week is Sustainability Week, next week is Religious Education Week and the final week of term is Health and Physical Education Week.
Bereavements - Your prayers are asked for the following families who are mourning the passing of a loved one recently. The Byham family on the passing of Bruce Hines, great grandfather of Claire 10A and Henry 7C. Also, the Gray family on the passing of Barry Gray, grandfather of Stella 10C and the Evans family on the passing of Raymond Dixon, great grandfather of Isla 7C and Jewel 9C. Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time.
Yours in Mercy,
Dr Darren Egberts
Principal
