Sacred Heart Feast Day
As with every year at Sacred Heart, we celebrated the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as a whole school. Each Catholic school in Sydney will celebrate their namesake on their feast day and we are no different. We try to ensure that the day is a reverent and sacred day, while also allowing students to have fun and engage with each other positively.




We began the day with a whole school Mass in our church. Students from across the school were led by our school choir in our new school song ‘Faith, Generosity and Courage’ written by Ms Conroy, and her brother Tom Conroy.
Towards the end of Mass, we reflected on and thanked the community for your incredible donations. St Vincent de Paul is a Catholic organisation that we support twice a year with our Winter Appeal and Christmas Appeal in December. We are also looking to explore a third way of supporting SVdP but more on that in the coming months.
Thank you to our helpful parents Mrs Whitson and Mrs McCarthy in assembling our beautiful hampers. They are going to where they are needed most in our community.
Our Year 6 students then led their colour house groups through a series of activities and rotations throughout the middle block. If it sounds like it has been a lot, it has been! Year 6 did an amazing job of leading the students through fun and games. They should be very proud of themselves.
One of the main aims for us on the day was to promote the namesakes behind our colour houses. Of course, we have Polding (red), MacAuley (blue), Champagnat (yellow) and MacKillop (green). We will aim to refer to these more and more throughout the years to come so that we don’t lose this important tradition.
