Welcoming our Wellbeing Dogs in 2026

Bruce

Sacred Heart College is delighted to introduce the newest members of our wellbeing team – three very special dogs who are already making a positive difference across our community. 🐾💙

Bruce, the tiniest of the trio, is a 13-week-old Miniature Cavoodle who has quickly captured hearts within the Hearts and Boarding Community. Currently attending Puppy Pre-School and preparing to begin puppy training, Bruce will later become an official Dogs Connect wellbeing dog as he grows into his important role fostering connection, comfort and wellbeing amongst our boarders and students.

Joining him is Finbar, a 3-year-old Border Collie with a calm, gentle and nurturing nature. In his role as a Wellbeing Dog at Champagnat Campus, Finbar will support students across learning enrichment and wellbeing spaces, offering reassurance during busy days and a friendly presence when it is needed most. Finbar will be on campus one day a week at Champagnat Campus and will work alongside fellow Wellbeing Dog, Beau to help students and staff feel supported, relaxed and uplifted. We are confident he will quickly form special bonds within the community and bring many smiles along the way.

Completing the team is Beau, a 4-year-old Groodle who joined Sacred Heart College in 2024 and is based at Marcellin Campus. Beau has already become a much-loved companion for students and staff, and will continue to play an important role in nurturing wellbeing, connection and calm throughout the school day.

Together, Bruce, Finbar and Beau reflect Sacred Heart College’s commitment to wellbeing. We look forward to watching each of them grow in their roles and continue spreading joy, comfort and companionship across our campuses.
