Hearts News – Week 8 Term 4

Celebrating the graduating Class of 2025

Our Sacred Heart College community gathered to celebrate the Class of 2025 on Friday and look back on their final  year of schooling filled with growth, achievement and unforgettable moments.

During the ceremony, College Principal Daniel Lynch proudly presented each graduate with their certificate and a special gift from the College. Families were treated to videos capturing many of the highlights that shaped the year, from Sports Day and the Year 12 Retreat, and the Year 12 Formal to the final days of classes. Surrounded by family and friends, it was a pleasure to witness our Year 12 students enjoy a well-deserved celebration of all they have achieved.

After the formalities, and despite the rain, graduates and their families enjoyed food, drinks and plenty of photos to capture their final gathering as a cohort at Sacred Heart. We extend our sincere thanks to all staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to create such a memorable occasion.

To our Year 12s – we wish you every success as you step into your next chapter.

Once a Heart, always a Heart.

The Rite Journey Homecoming Ceremony

Year 9 students, along with their families and mentor teachers gathered in the St Joseph’s Centre at Champagnat Campus last Tuesday for the final time to celebrate the last stage of the Rite Journey: the Homecoming.

This formal event provided an opportunity for students to reflect on their personal growth, challenges and achievements, symbolising the transition from childhood to adulthood. In true Rite Journey spirit, students led the evening, with representatives from each class delivering speeches about what they learned throughout the year and how they had grown. Classes highlighted significant moments such as circle time, class swaps, camp, their outreach efforts, and one class even performed a dance!

To conclude the evening, students shared a heartfelt letter with their parents/caregivers, outlining their intentions for 2026 and the kind of young adults they aspire to become as they move onto Year 10 at Marcellin Campus next year. It was a memorable cele
