Grade One/Two Blue have been
working hard learning about
God’s creations. The children have
planted seeds and are excited
watching them growing.
Dear Parents, Students, Staff and all associated with the Sacred Heart Community,
I came across the following story recently which carries a message of resilience and determination: A parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule ‘braying’ - or - whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathised with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbours together and told them what had happened and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery. Initially, the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbours continued shovelling and the dirt hit his back, a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back: he should shake it off and step up! This he did, blow after blow. “Shake it off and step up... shake it off and step up... shake it off and step up!” he repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or distressing the situation seemed, the old mule fought “panic” and just kept right on shaking it off and stepping up! It wasn’t long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped triumphantly over the wall of that well! What seemed like it would bury him, actually blessed him. All because of the manner in which he handled his adversity. At times we all have to face difficult tasks or unexpected adversity. While it may not be pleasant at the time, handling these situations provides us with character-building opportunities. There will be times when students face these challenging moments both inside and outside the classroom. A great deal is written in educational circles about the notion of resilience. It is the quality to face up to tough situations and to work through the difficult times. As an educational community one of our tasks is to work in partnership with parents to help build a sense of resilience in our young people, in a caring and supportive environment. Setting the bar high, demanding clear standards and following through with consequences are all part of this task. While, at times, students may not be grateful for our efforts, at the end of the day we are working to prepare them to face up to the trials and tribulations of life. Annual Report 2018 Annual Report to the School Community - Parents are advised that a copy of the school’s Annual Report to the School Community for 2018 is now available on the school’s website. The document fulfils part of the required annual reporting procedures that feeds back to parents and guardians as well as wider community stakeholders, a summary of the school’s progress across a number of key elements of school life. A hard copy is also available at the School Office.
Welcome
We welcome to our school community Mrs Coral Membery, Mrs Kristy Glass and Mrs Maree Nardino who bring their expertise and wealth of knowledge to work with our children in the capacity of Educational Support Officers. I am sure they will be made to feel welcome to join our team. Yours in Catholic education.

WOOLWORTHS EARN & LEARN
Just a reminder when shopping at Woolworths to ask for, and collect the ‘Earn & Learn stickers.
The Woolworths Earn & Learn campaign will continue until 25 June 2019.
It’s easy to Earn & Learn. Just get everyone you can to collect as many stickers as possible. Stick them onto the Woolworths Earn & Learn sheet, (more sheets available from the office), and drop them into the Sacred Heart box provided at Woolworths, or at the school office.
From such a wonderful response last year the school was able to obtain varied sports equipment which has been put to good use. Have fun collecting.
With the cold weather upon us it is surprising to see so many items of clothing in
As a school community we are collecting plastic bread tags, even the broken ones which will make a difference in support of our environment. They will
be made into numerous items, and will make a difference to the lives of people who are in need of a wheelchair. A collection box will be placed in the
office.
Thanking you for your support and assistance.
To the students who celebrate their
birthday during the month of June, best
wishes for a great day.
