Sacred Heart Feast Day

We celebrated our feast day with a school mass followed by many activities including disco dancing, karaoke, origami and arts activities, chalk drawing, reading in the 'beach resort' and watching teachers vs Year 6 in a game of 'bullrush'. Assembly followed in the afternoon where our Sacred Heart 'Blue Awards' were presented. Congratulations Francesca O'Grady and Charlie Horton for receiving the award today for their random acts of kindness. 

Special thanks to Mrs Loughland for organising the day and to all the teachers who assisted with so many fun activities and made our mass so special.
