Why Sacred Hearts

  • Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit more about Sacred Hearts School.

  • So, what makes us a high performing school?

  • We are a school that puts the needs of individual students at the core of our planning. Teaching is something we do with our students and for our students. Not to our students.

  • There is culture of high expectations for the achievement of our students and the performance of our staff – both teaching and non-teaching. We plan for success and strive hard to achieve it.

  • Ours is a harmonious, tolerant and supportive learning environment and we, our staff and students, work hard to keep it that way.

  • People like being here. Staff and students have strong and productive relations built upon RESPECT and TRUST. We care about each other.

  • We are a school with a social conscience and we understand our important place in the local community and as a school within the public education system. We are committed to making sure both remain strong.

  • Talent shines through. We are excited to support talent development in whatever area it may arise; performing arts, debating, sport, visual and creative arts, student leadership or academic excellence. We strive to recognise, develop and acknowledge the talents and achievements of our students.

  • We rejoice in the extraordinary success of our students in a whole array of academic and extracurricular pursuits. At the same time, though, we acknowledge that success is personal and relative and may not always be represented by a first place or a media story or an award. We work with every student to help them experience success. Their success matters to us.
