Unlocking Every Child’s Unique Strengths
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is grounded in research and evidence-based practices, following the science of how students learn best. It is carefully designed to support deep understanding, build strong foundational skills, and foster curiosity, creativity and a love of learning.
From our Principal
It is with great pride that I welcome you to our vibrant, inclusive and faith-filled school community in the bayside.
At Sacred Heart, we are deeply committed to nurturing the whole child academically, socially, emotionally, physically and spiritually in an environment that values authentic relationships, connection and compassion.
Our dedicated staff work collaboratively to ensure that every student is known, challenged and supported. With a strong focus on evidence-based teaching practices, including explicit instruction and a structured literacy approach from Prep to Year 6, our learning programs are designed to engage students deeply and empower them to reach their full potential.
In 2025, we proudly unveiled a $5.2 million refurbishment of our facilities. These contemporary learning environments include spacious, light-filled classrooms, a state-of-the-art STEM space, dedicated intervention spaces and a spacious and thoughtfully designed corridor creating additional learning areas. These are more than just buildings; they reflect our belief in the transformative power of education and the importance of nurturing student wellbeing, engagement and creativity.
Beyond the classroom, Sacred Heart offers a broad range of co-curricular opportunities, including interschool sport, music, clubs, languages, instrumental lessons and a strong student leadership program. Our partnerships with local kindergartens, secondary schools and community organisations further enrich our students’ learning experiences and foster a strong sense of belonging.
We are immensely proud of the culture we have built, one where students feel safe, supported and inspired to become the best version of themselves.
I warmly invite you to visit our school, meet our passionate staff and experience firsthand what makes Sacred Heart such a special place to learn, grow and belong.
Regards,
