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.
Staff Development Days
Staff Development Days
On 5 - 6 school days each year, special Staff Development Days are held. Teachers undertake an in-service day to study, discuss, develop curriculum and apply educational developments. On these days, classes are suspended and parents are asked to make alternate arrangements for the care of their children. If SCECS is available to provide care for the children on site, this will be communicated via our school newsletter HeartBeat on Compass.
Where can I find out which days these are this year?
Please see our school calendar to find out which days have been allocated as Staff Development Days this year.
