Overview of Our College
Sacred Heart College recognises that a pleasant, safe school environment supports student well being and promotes successful student education. Our buildings and amenities have continued to expand as a result of a large range of subjects being offered to our students
Sacred Heart College is located on over twenty acres of established gardens and surrounds that are maintained on a daily basis.
All our general multipurpose classrooms are carpeted, heated and comfortable. The VCE students have their own separate classrooms, dedicated study areas and a common room.
The College has a considerable investment in computer technology with over 537 computers on the College network, all with access to the internet. This exceeds the current Federal Government target of one computer for every two students in Years 9 to 12. Students have access to a large range of digital and audio visual equipment that is also on loan to students for weeknight/weekend use.
Recently the College constructed a large undercover area to provide extra shelter for our students.
One of our architectural features, the Chapel, reflects a place of spiritual calmness at the centre of an active and vibrant school and also emphasises the importance of the Catholic foundation of the College.
