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.

The focus for Sacred Heart Parents and Friends is to build community. We aim to have events that bring the school community together. One such event is the Sacred Heart function at the commencement of the school year where all parents can join in a low cost, low key event with a focus on connecting with each other and having fun. Other events that the P and F have organised are the Spring Fair, the Mother and Fathers’ Day breakfasts, the School Disco and from time to time information nights on topics we feel are of importance to parents and carers.
Our students love to see their parents involved and at school. However big or small a role you can take on, it is greatly appreciated.
The P & F is also here to listen to any feedback and we urge you to reach out to us, with any other suggestions or issues you want to raise, so we can try to build a school community that truly reflects our school's Catholic values of Faith Generosity and Courage.
The P & F meets once a term and encourages parents to attend. By attending you are informed about what is happening at the school and you can provide valuable feedback/suggestions in person.
