Dear Parents and Carers

Last week our staff took part in a Staff Faith Formation program at Cana Farm. Sacred Heart has been working in partnership with Cana over the last few years. They provide our Father’s and Mother’s Day gifts and hold a stall at the Spring Fair. Cana Communities is a charity that supports people who have experienced extraordinary life challenges. At the farm they grow fresh produce and learn life skills. The volunteers that spoke to us had had particularly challenging lives but Cana has provided a family that forgave, celebrated and accepted them. The Sacred Heart staff worked alongside the volunteers in the garden, helped get Christmas gifts ready, made lunch and prayed with the workers at Cana. It was a privilege to meet the staff and volunteers at Cana and to see the wonderful work they do. We are very proud to deepen our knowledge of the charity that we wholeheartedly support.

Last week our music tutor provider gave notice that they will finish at Sacred Heart at the end of the year. We are currently in conversation with Music Mates regarding music lessons and group lessons. They will be at school all day next Tuesday for a musical experience for the children. Parents are welcome to attend the sessions to see their work. Expressions of interest will be sent to parents next week regarding music lessons for next year at Sacred Heart. Music Mates Rock Orchestra will work with the following grades next Tuesday at these times. Each session is 90 minutes long

 8.50 am Years 5 and 6

10.00 am Year 3 and 4

12.00 pm Years 1 and 2

 2.00 pm  Kindergarten

Please note, when preparing lunches for school, hot water in thermos flasks is not allowed due to safety reasons.

Good luck to all our basketball players who will travel to Albury this weekend. Mr de Villiers and I will be in attendance in Albury for the weekend. Thank you to our Sports Club for organising the event for our players.
