What are Year Representatives?
The system of Year Representatives works particularly well at our school. Any Sacred Heart parent can volunteer to be a Year Rep for their child's year. The role of a Year Rep is evolving to focus more on ‘pastoral care’ ie. connecting parents, buddying new families, encouraging parents’ to support in classroom and school activities, and coordinating social events that bring families together. Year representatives liaise with teachers and encourage all parents in the year group to become involved in planning and running events throughout the year.

Participating in Competitions
Competition leads to better collaboration. When a team of students works towards a common goal, the collaboration among them reaches a new peak every time. The team will bring forward a unique skill. The students will share their ideas, learn from and respect each other's contribution and function as a group. All these create a sense of belonging and bonding.
Competitions are mainly all about the fun of participating. Even if the solo contender or the team does not win, they are bound to enjoy every step of the journey.
