Our Mercy Heritage
Sacred Heart Primary is a primary Catholic school that has continued the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy since our first lay Principal in 1993. A Sacred Heart education is essentially aimed at developing a spirit of hospitality; celebrating our faith, multiculturalism and achievements; and valuing the dignity of each person.
Cooperative Learning
Students at Sacred Heart Primary are held accountable for their learning through being encouraged to use a wide range of cooperative learning strategies in their day-to-day learning. Through working together, making responsible decisions, solving real-world problems creatively, listening attentively, expressing appreciation and celebrating achievement, Sacred Heart students are challenged to become the best learners they can be.
