Children thrive in the caring safety of Sacred Heart
If you are considering Primary Education for your child, and are looking for somewhere with warm and caring staff and school community, where your children's academic, religious, cultural and sporting needs are well taken care of at a place where they are able to thrive and still feel safe, then you couldn't go past Sacred Heart School. We have one son who thoroughly enjoyed his time there and has now moved on and is doing exceptionally well at Roncalli, thanks to his time here.
Chris and Sharon Jones - current or past parent of a child at Sacred Heart School
