Sacred Heart college: tHe Making of MariSt Men

the Sacred Heart college development foundation is a registered charitable trust whose purpose is to promote the interests of Sacred Heart college including the provision of support for the benefit and welfare of the college and/or for the education and learning at the college and/or for the support of the pupils and staff at the college. it also is the catalyst for the funding of major capital investments as well as the ongoing educational and cultural needs of the college.

the development office works closely with the Proprietor (the nZ Marist Brothers trust Board), the college Board of trustees, the old Boys’ association, friends of Sacred Heart college, Pta and college staff.

through the annual giving and Bequest programmes, the foundation provides student scholarships, teacher support as well as funding for college buildings and amenities.

Construction projects funded by the Foundation since 1994 include:

• TheChapel • Gymnasium

• Astro-turfingofTennisCourts • DiningHall

• AquaticCentre • ScienceandTechnologyFacility

• AdministrationFacility • CentenarySquare

• Nine-classroomPompallierblockforYears7&8

Projects for the future include a 1500-seat auditorium, Performing arts centre and library/research centre.

these projects have been funded by donations from parents, old Boys, friends of the college, grants from trusts, and loans serviced by the financial contribution. the financial contribution provides a constant income stream and means that new parents inherit these outstanding facilities as well as the ongoing responsibility to service the accompanying debt. the foundation is committed to supporting these capital-intensive initiatives and expects that parents will provide ongoing financial support to the best of their ability.

DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION


excellent support and guidance systems are in place to help students reach their full potential. all students are members of a homeroom class. Homeroom teachers will often be the first to identify a student who is having difficulties. Parents or guardians with concerns about a student should contact his homeroom teacher, or the year-level dean.

the director of Pastoral care and Welfare coordinates the work of the homeroom teachers, the year-level deans, the guidance counsellor, the learning Support department, the careers and transition department and the resource teacher of learning and Behaviour (rtlB).

these staff members meet weekly to discuss the pastoral and academic needs of students from Years 7 to 13. the purpose of these meetings is to:

• Identifystudentswhoarenotachievingtheirpotentialandtoputinplacesupportstructures
