Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Our provider has now informed us that the app is fully functional for Android users and that the bug has been fixed. We are in the process of moving away from the text messaging service here in school and replacing it with messaging via the School App. We are aiming to launch this service directly after mid-term so we ask that all parents to please download the School App (see picture attached) by Friday 9th February. On our system we can see who has the app downloaded and once we get everyone on the system, we will start using this new communication method.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Tomorrow (Thursday) will see contractors begin installing the road markings for a new one way (pick up and drop off system) in the vicinity of our school (in and around the parochial hall). The area will be coned off tomorrow and I'd ask for all parents/carers to use the car park opposite the chapel and then the pathway for conducting pick up and drop offs. The rear entrance is still open for those who walk to school. Further details on the new system will be made available when the works have been completed.
In the background we are campaigning hard for the retention of our school crossing patrol. Similarly we have been engaging with local politicians, DFI, Roads Service and the PSNI in relation to our ongoing traffic issues on Main St that directly affect our school.
Thank you for your co-operation.
This afternoon the staff of Sacred Heart P.S. Dundrum and St Joseph’s P.S. Tyrella came together for a parish retreat led by Mrs Joan McCombe from the Down and Connor Catholic Schools’ Trustee Service.
The retreat tied in with the main theme of Catholic Schools’ Week 2024 which envisages our schools as ‘Communities of Service.’
Prayer, meditation and reflection were very much part of the focus of the occasion and we were delighted to have Canon Fleck in attendance to help guide the staff in a spiritual capacity.
Thank you goes to Mrs Joan McCombe for facilitating the event and to St Joseph’s P.S. for being such wonderful hosts.

Lochlan P3
Lochlan is an extremely kind and well mannered student who loves school life and enjoys learning. He always comes into class with a smile on his face and is full of enthusiasm to learn something new each day.
Lochlan has blown Mr McCartan away with his reading and he has made massive improvements especially within the area of fluency.
He is a great listener and always follows instructions perfectly. He enjoys a challenge and has shown great independence throughout Numeracy and Literacy. Lochlan enjoys mental maths games and can figure out sums quickly using partitioning.
Lochlan is a very deserving winner of this award as he continues each day to maximise his potential and strives to be the best that he can be.
Well done Lochlan!
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” Dr. Seuss (American children’s author, political cartoonist, illustrator, poet, animator and filmmaker).
At the beginning of the academic year Sacred Heart P.S. decided to introduce the Accelerated Reader programme as one of our main Literacy focusses. We believe wholeheartedly in the power of reading and the many benefits that it brings for our children in terms of their academic progress.
Today we acknowledged some of our avid readers who have recently attained their respective certifications in line with their reading journey.
Well done to you all and keep reading for pleasure!
