Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School is a school with a great history and heritage. As Catholic educators, we are inspired by the principles of the Gospels, which help our students achieve their highest potential. Everything we do is guided by our mission statement, and in collaboration with parents and the church, we give our kids a Catholic education that places the life of Jesus Christ at its centre. You can learn more about 3-5-7 in other sections of our website. 3-5-7 encapsulates all we stand for and everything we aim to accomplish. With 475 students ranging in age from 3 to 11, Sacred Heart is a highly active and welcoming school. We are extremely proud of each and every one of them. We are also quite delighted to be a flourishing institution that supports and integrates revolutionary education with traditional values. Our ultimate goal is to equip your child to be a responsible citizen in a world that is changing quickly. Our school is spread across two locations: the main building and St. Margaret Mary, a new addition that opened in 2015 and is housed in the same structure as our parish community centre. There is where our Year 5 and Year 6 courses are located. There is also our library, which all of our classes frequently use. There is constantly a lot going on, so be sure to read our weekly newsletter, which is delivered to your home each week at the conclusion of the week.
