Day of Australian Excellence

Mrs Tucker and I could not have been prouder of our Year 6 students today as they demonstrated many of the "Habits of Mind" during the Australian Day of Excellence. Every student researched an Australian person who has changed the world for the better. Speeches and stalls were simply outstanding. Teachers and classes commented on how much they learned as they visited each stall. The Year 6 students were extremely confident with the delivery of their research to the ears of interested listeners. Many thanks to the school sponsor 'Ray White' for the three book voucher prizes. The day concluded with our award ceremony. Well done Year 6! :-) Great work! 

Italian Day

The Italian flag flew proudly over Sacred Heart today. Deliziozo gelato flowed and buoni films were viewed. Year Six got into the spirit of the day by dressing in an Italian theme. A fantastico time was had by all. Ben fatto and grazie Signore James!
