Kicking Off the Academic Journey with the Grade 1 Bell Ringing

By bzwadmin Sacred Heart College No Comments

The start of a new school year is always filled with excitement and anticipation. Our Grade 1 students participated in a special ceremony to mark the beginning of their academic journey in primary school. The Grade 1 students gathered in front of the Chapel for the traditional bell-ringing ceremony. One by one, each child had the chance to walk up on stage and ring the ceremonial bell. The ringing symbolizes a student embarking on their educational path from Grade 1 and they will ring the bell again at Grade 12 Valedictory ceremony. We know these students have bright futures, and we can’t wait to support them on their academic journey in the years to come. Congratulations to our new Grade 1 class of 2024! The bell has rung, and the adventure begins.

Primary School Rollerblade Disco!

By bzwadmin Sacred Heart College No Comments

The parking lot was transformed into a rollerblade rink on Friday, 16, February 2024, for our Primary School Rollerblade Disco event. Students strapped on their protective gear, accessories, and favourite outfits for a fun night of skating and dancing. Upbeat music played all evening to keep the energy high. Our talented DJs entertained the crowd with all the classic roller-skating jams. Students stopped by the food section between skating rounds to fuel up on Preggo Rolls, Burgers, Frosty Bites and Juice. The event wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our dedicated parent volunteers, we truly appreciate all that our parents contributed. Your support helped make this annual Primary School Rollerblade Disco an unforgettable night for the students. Our students are already looking forward to lacing up their skates again next year for another fabulous roller disco event!

Today, we celebrated Ash Wednesday in our amphitheatre. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a time for reflection, repentance and fasting which prepares us for the Easter festivities. Each child received a blessing with a mark of the cross on their forehead in ash.

Special thanks to Fr David Houbert for celebrating the mass with us.

“February is a month of Love and on this special day of Ash Wednesday, we give it back to the one that sacrificed his life for us.

Ash Wednesday Blessings

On this sacred day, we begin our Lenten spiritual growth and renewal journey.

As we receive the ashes, may we reflect deeply on our mortality and humanity.

Let us walk together in contemplation, finding meaning in repentance and humility. Through prayer and compassion, we renew our connection to faith and purpose.

“For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Genesis 3:19

This Lent, may our hearts and minds be open to transformation. May we discover inner peace on this profound pilgrimage.

Wishing you light and blessings this Ash Wednesday.

Our Ash Wednesday Mass was held at St Anne’s, Belgravia, over the road from the school. Our new scholar patrol made sure that we crossed the road safely.
Staff and students received crosses of ash on their foreheads. The ashes were created by burning the palm crosses from last Palm Sunday.
