Welcome to Week 8!
Yesterday, we celebrated the Feast Day of St Joseph with Mass as a school community. As a significant figure in the Church's history and patron saint of families, fathers, carpenters, and expectant mothers, we look to St Joseph's example of dedication and faithfulness. We ask his intercession on our work this week.
Well done to all our students in Years 3 and 5 who have completed their NAPLAN testing. NAPLAN gives the school and parents valuable data in tracking student growth and learning, and allows us to plan for future learning goals and foci. In Term 2, staff will meet to analyse student data and plan further learning opportunities to extend out students learning. Like any assessment that students complete, our encouragement is simply to try their best.
A special thank you to Mr Ralph, Sacred Heart School Staff, and volunteers, who helped make our 2024 Faction Swimming Carnival a success. The water and wind may have been cold, but the cheering and encouragement on display was warming to all. Congratulations to Jacoby Faction who secured victory via the last race of the day.
Congratulations to the small team of swimmers representing Sacred Heart at the Interschool Swimming Carnival tomorrow. The team will travel to Bayswater Waves Aquatic Centre and we wish them all the very best.
I would like to announce that Mrs Madison Burgess has been appointed a short-term contract for Year 2 for Weeks 1 to 4 of Term 2 as Miss Palmieri takes some leave for her wedding and honeymoon. Mrs Burgess is an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher who will ensure the continued learning of our Year 2 students. We welcome Mrs Burgess and extend our congratulations to Miss Palmeiri.
Sacred Heart School is seeking to employ an energetic, enthusiastic, and passionate Education Assistant to join our staff from Term 2, 2024. A detailed role description and information on how to apply is available via the CEWA jobs portal.
And lastly, a special congratulations to Satria in Pre-Primary who welcomed his baby sister Srikandy this week. Congratulations to the Mosen family.
Have a blessed weekend ahead.

P&F Easter Raffle
Thank you for supporting the annual Easter Raffle with donations received so far! Donations of Easter treats can be dropped off to the classrooms by next Monday 25 March 2024.
Raffle tickets were sent home with each student earlier this week. Tickets are $1.00 each. All purchased tickets are due back on Monday 25 March 2024 via the classroom notebags. If you would like to purchase more tickets they are available at the school office. The Easter Raffle will be drawn on Thursday next week.
Our canteen operates each Wednesday pending volunteers. Hours: Wednesdays – 9:00am to 1.30pm. Even if you can only spare an hour or two. This makes such a difference! Maybe you could help with a 9:00am to 11:30am or 11:00am to 1:30pm shift. The Term 2 Roster is up outside the Canteen. We would love to see the roster covered before the start of next term.
Please Note: For the ease of Canteen operations and our volunteers, Quickcliq is the preferred method for ordering recess and lunch. Please see instructions below to assist with set up and ordering online. Being the end of term we will have limited stock of some items. Quickcliq menu items are updated each week accordingly.
