• School Patrol Crossing

  Tue 19 Sep 2023

  There will be no school patrol crossing on the Main Street over the course of the next month due to Gerry being off. If everyone can be extra vigiliant when crossing the road with their children in the morning and afternoon. Everyone's safety is of paramount importance.

• Principal’s Award

  Fri 15 Sep 2023

  Hugh is an extremely kind and well-mannered student who loves school life and enjoys learning. He is a hard worker who has a keen eye for learning new facts and telling them to the class. Hugh always comes into school with a smile on his face and is full of enthusiasm to learn something new each day. 

   

  He has a great personality and shows a caring nature to help others when they need it whether that is outside in the playground or in the classroom. 

   

  Hugh retains information excellently and Mr McCartan is really impressed with how he has been staying concentrated and focused on tasks. 

   

  Hugh is a very deserving winner of this award as he continues each day to be a great role model for Sacred Heart P.S.

   

  Well done!
