Our history
Sacred Heart Primary was established in 1956 by the Sisters of Mercy.
We are recognised as a creative centre for learning with a positive, happy environment.
Originally, the school was an early education feeder school for Parramatta Marist Junior School, taking boys from kindergarten to Year 3. It was not until 1991 that Sacred Heart accepted students all the way through to Year 6.
The Mercy leadership continued until 1993, when Mrs Sattler was appointed the first lay principal. In 1999, the school underwent an extension and improvement program allowing it to grow its enrolment to over 200 students.
A close relationship exists between the school and the parish and we are very fortunate to share our site with the Church. From December 2002 until early 2015, the care of both the parish and school was transferred to the Camillians (Ministers of the Infirm).
From Term 3 2026, Sacred Heart Primary Westmead and Mother Teresa Primary Westmead will be part of a new school at Darcy Road Westmead in a state-of-the-art architect-designed building that is currently under construction as part of the Westmead Catholic Community project.
