Welcome to a new school year and the next learning experiences in our Sacred Heart community.  You are welcome here! 

We begin with the C.I.S.V.A. theme: "What do you want of me, Lord?"  We remind ourselves that God wants to lead us somewhere, but his directions are easier to follow if we know where we stand and how to turn towards him.  This is the inspiration for our first term integrated theme, "Here I Am."  The idea of finding one’s place will link to all subjects in different ways.

Class 5A has already become a place of peace and collaboration. We have quiet times and active times.  The enthusiam for learning will serve the children well as they commence new areas of study and deepen their understanding of concepts that were previously introduced.

The Welcome Wall in the hallway is designed to inspire appreciation for school as a place where students can practice being/becoming anyone they want to (careers + more), with the focus on becoming saints (in the center) and also becoming the best versions of ourselves (personal names).  

May God bless all our endeavors!
