As part of the Grade 2 project-based learning activity, students were tasked with making a bear. This task helps enhance their fine motor skills. Using both hands together in a coordinated manner is a skill needed for handwriting, scissor use, and many functional tasks. When colouring, a child needs to hold the paper as they colour.
We would like to thank all the parents and special visitors that came and celebarated with us. Our Pre-Primary School welcomed our VIP visitors. The event gave Sacred Heart College special visitors an opportunity to spend a day in the life of a pre-primary school student. The visitors experienced a beadwork activity, pottery making, yoga to just mention a few. At Sacred Heart College we have staff that are highly qualified in supervision of young children and we provide an environment where they can become involved in indoor and outdoor games, arts, crafts and constructive play.
The objective of the exercise was for students to learn directions and prepositions in French, and enhance their use of the dictionary in a fun and collaborative manner. The task required them to navigate around the school campus until they found a hidden box filled with treats.
Our students learn through play by creating paper mache sculptures that will feature in their puppet show.
Our Open Day at Sacred Heart College presented a wide variety of academic, cultural and sporting activities to entertain our visitors. In addition to all the action our Head of College, Heather Blanckensee, shared words of wisdom on “ Are you ready for a teenager?” Subsequently Dr Mark Potterton, our Pre-Primary and Primary School Principal, shared his latest research insights on “Finding yourself at school”. It was wonderful to have so many prospective parents engaging and connecting with staff and students. Thank you to everyone who supported our Open Day, it was an amazing and memorable morning.

The Gr 3’s are working on the 5 senses in their class. We used coffee, turmeric and textured materials to create a sensory modern Picasso portrait.
We celebrated the Academic Eucharist today as a community. The Grade 1s were led in by the Grade 12s.
Congratulations to our Grade 7 students who made the cross over from Primary school to High school. We look forward to share your exciting High School career with you.
