Sacred Heart School aims to develop the knowledge, beliefs and practices of the Catholic faith, reflecting at all times on our vision to 'Journey everyday with Jesus'. We endeavour to facilitate each child's journey towards their potential through quality learning and teaching practices. 'Learning is a journey, not a race'. Sacred Heart has been innovative in embracing the new outcomes-based curriculum. This is currently in review as once again the curriculum is changing and the staff is now responding to the challenges of Essential Learnings. One of the school responses to the delivery of curriculum is stage-based learning. Children move through the stages which cater for varying learning styles and rates. In some stages, children journey for mathematics and English according to their ability level. At Sacred Heart School there is a particular emphasis on the arts with the inclusion of classroom music/drama within the weekly program. The community feel that these are essential elements in the overall development of each individual child. Sacred Heart prides itself on its ability to reach out to those in need in our community. The community is welcoming and accepting of all.
