General Curriculum

Beyond the core subjects…

At Sacred Heart School, our curriculum is aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, offering a diverse range of learning experiences. Students engage in comprehensive programs encompassing English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, The Arts, Health and Physical Education, and Languages Other Than English (LOTE). Our curriculum emphasises inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. With a focus on holistic development, we integrate opportunities for students to explore their interests and talents while fostering values of respect, compassion, and responsibility. Our dedicated staff ensures that each student receives a quality education tailored to their individual needs, preparing them for success in the modern world.

We believe in the importance of strong connections between children, parents, and teachers. Parents are encouraged to actively participate in school life, and our friendly staff ensures a cooperative relationship with families from diverse backgrounds. With a small student population, we prioritize building positive relationships with each student and their parents.

Our staff work as a close-knit team and is dedicated to providing a quality education in the Catholic Tradition. Our strengths include a comprehensive Religious Education Program, engaging Eucharistic liturgies, and involvement in various community initiatives.

Our school is part of a network known as “The Western Trnity”. The network works as one Professional Learning Community where our staff plan together weekly aligning our learning cycles in order to provide support for teachers and a richer curriculum for our students. The three schools come together for sporting or academic activity days once a term.

We provide a variety of intervention programs, a restorative approach to behavior management, and a whole school focus on Inquiry Learning aligned with the Victorian Curriculum. Our students have access to a range of technology, including iPads and ChromeBooks, and enjoy school camps, excursions, and regular sports activities.

At Sacred Heart School, we strive to nurture the "whole" child through academic, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual experiences. Join us on this journey of learning and growth!
