About Sacred Heart Elementary School
At the Sacred Heart Elementary School each child is encouraged to achieve academically, socially and spiritually. The students are supported in all their endeavours by a community made up of students, parents, and teachers.We hope the information on our web site will help you get to know the school. We offer a strong programme of studies as well as a wealth of music, art, physical education and extra-curricular activities for our students.
We often hear from visitors that the nurturing climate of our school is evident as they walk through the halls. I welcome opportunities to show visitors around Sacred Heart Elementary School and to answer your questions as you are preparing to choose a school for your child.
Please contact me at the school.
