Junior Cabinet 2027

We were pleased this week to announce the successful candidates for our 2027 Junior Cabinet. These young leaders will work alongside our Senior Cabinet to bring the voice of our students to life throughout the College in the coming school year. Warm congratulations are offered to all those selected for formal leadership, as well as to those candidates who were not offered a leadership role, but nevertheless should feel very proud of their decision to apply and participate in the interview process. Congratulations are also offered to our 2027 Senior and Junior House Captains, who were also announced this week, alongside of our Junior Cabinet.

Welcome back Dr Egberts!

It has been a bubble of joy in our week to have Dr Egberts back on site, following a period of leave. To hear the familiar sound of his generous laugh echoing again across the campus has buoyed us all. Sincere thanks are offered to the many members of the community who have stepped in to assist in so many ways to support the school, during the time of Dr Egberts’ leave. From this coming Monday, he will return formally to the role of Principal, and you can look forward to reading his Principal’s report in the next edition of the Newsletter.

A time of celebration

November is a time of significant celebration in the life of the college, as a range of key milestones are achieved. In particular, we think of our Year 12 students, who in the coming days will be completing their final VCE exams and participating in their Graduation Dinner. They all have plenty to be proud of, and we wish them every success as they move out into the world beyond the school gates.

As of this week, our Year 10 and Year 11 students have completed their final lessons of the 2026 academic year, and have now begun their Semester 2 Exams. They are congratulated on all that they have achieved, and we look forward with anticipation to welcoming them into their new role as Year 11s and Year 12s when their Step Up program begins on Friday 20/11.

Our final College assembly for the year will be held on Thursday 26 November, and at this time we will name and award those students who have achieved notable levels of academic achievement, including our Dux and Dux Proximus at each Year Level. This is an event of particular joy, and we look forward to sharing the names of those students receiving an award in the next edition of the Newsletter.

2027 Tuition Fees and Edstart

All families will have received earlier this week a letter from the College, outlining the tuition fee schedule for 2027. Also included in this letter was an initial introduction to Edstart, which is the platform the college will use for all fee payments from 2027 onwards. Over the coming weeks, our Finance Team and Edstart will be in touch with instructions on how and when to set up your Edstart account and customised payment plan. Please keep an eye out for emails coming from “Edstart”, as these will contain everything you need to know to get started.

The College maintains its commitment to support any family experiencing financial hardship. If meeting tuition fees is a concern, families are encouraged to work with Edstart and Sacred Heart staff to find workable payment plans. Concessions remain available and can be applied for through discussions with Edstart, or via direct application as per the Fee Concession Form available via the College website.
