Wednesday 22 July, saw members of our College community share in an inspiring and informative evening, as we staged our Senior School Subject Selection and Careers Expo.

It was a joy to see Sacred Heart families filling the gym and theatre to explore Senior School Pathway options and a wide range of Learning Area subject offerings.

Walking through the Expo, I was struck by the positive energy and excitement that permeated the night as senior pathways and subjects were brought to life with inspiring display stalls, fruitful conversations and advice, alongside the opportunity for families to also engage with an array of external tertiary providers, including universities, colleges, apprenticeships, the Australian Defence Force and Victorian Police.

Special mention to our Year 9 and 10 students for interacting so thoughtfully with teachers, and our invited tertiary providers. Likewise, thank you to our Year 11 and 12 student subject ambassadors who represented different Learning Areas, in a wonderful display of Student Voice, agency and positive peer-to-peer exchanges.

Thank you also to our parents and guardians, for attending in impressive numbers. Your presence and support of the Expo reinforced the integral mutual bond between Home and College that together encourages our young people of Sacred Heart to flourish.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated Sacred Heart staff whose preparation made the night a wonderful success.

This year’s Senior School Subject Selection and Careers Expo stands as a powerful reminder of the adages – That it takes a village to raise a child and to go far, we must go together.
