Sacred Heart School is a Catholic co-educational primary school catering for students from Kindergarten to Year 10. The school caters for 65 students, 61 of these are Aboriginal and the school has a very close relationship with the Sacred Heart Parish. The school also facilitates Aboriginals as First Educators (AFaFE) programme and welcomes families with children from 0-3 years of age to engage in early childhood development in a fun, family-oriented approach. Beagle Bay is steeped in a rich history of Nyul Nyul people, Aboriginal culture, and the beginnings of early Missionary work.
Sacred Heart School is a school in the Catholic tradition and therefore seeks to promote and develop the Christian faith and practice of its students, families, and staff. We are committed to knowing each child in our care to provide each of them with a challenging, safe, learning environment. We aim to develop the 'whole' person through a variety of rich learning experiences that encourage our children to grow into socially adept, caring, and spiritual people. Our hope as educators is to foster a love of learning that will hold our students in good stead for the rest of their lives.
Through our school vision, we seek to offer an education enlivened by the life of Jesus Christ where the dignity of each person and two-way learning are valued.
We believe the following is vital to the development of the whole person:
Jesus Christ as the model for daily living.
Parents as the primary educators of their children.
A safe, supportive, caring environment where each child’s growth leads to life-long learning.
Respect, tolerance, and pastoral care for differences of race, gender, beliefs, and capabilities.
Care for our common home - our beautiful, unique environment.
Sacred Heart School aims to achieve this by:
providing a rich educational environment with opportunities for the students to develop their potential spiritually, intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, and creatively.
creating an atmosphere to promote respect and sensitivity towards culture.
promoting an awareness of the need to respect and care for each person and all of creation.
encouraging communication, opportunity and rich experiences between parents, teachers, children, Parish, and community.
fostering an environment where a relationship between Jesus and the child can grow.
In partnership with our families, sharing a common vision, we can work together to ensure that your child will become a responsible, independent, life-long learner. As educators, we want the very best for your child. It is our aim to provide a safe, affirming, and positive environment where your child will grow. Working hand in hand, we can provide the very best for our children. We look forward to your continued support and cooperation.
