Sacred Heart College

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.

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!
