It is with great pleasure that I invite you to our Junior School Showcase, a wonderful evening celebrating the talents, dedication, and achievements of our Year 7, 8, and 9 students.

Date: Wednesday 21 October 2026

Time: 4:00pm-7:30pm

Location: Sacred Heart College

The Junior School Showcase is a special opportunity for our students to demonstrate to our Sacred Heart community their skills, passion, and ability to flourish. We are incredibly proud of the work our young people have undertaken this year, and we know you will be too.

PROGRAM FOR THE EVENING

Year 7 - Learning Gallery (4:00pm-5:30pm)

Hilary Learning Spaces

Our Year 7 students will host an open classroom and learning gallery, displaying classwork curated by their teachers. Students are looking forward to showing you around the College and sharing their learning journey. Hilary Learning Spaces will be open and staffed until 5:30pm, and families are welcome to arrive with their Year 7 student at any time in that window. After 5:30pm, Year 7 families are still very welcome to enjoy the rest of the Showcase, but the classrooms will be closed.

Year 8 - Make a Difference Projects Presentation (4:30pm-6:00pm)

Lower and Upper Dwyer Learning Spaces

The Year 8s will present their Make A Difference Projects, which have been a focus of their Religious Education studies. Students have investigated issues of social and environmental injustice and developed initiatives to promote positive change. Their passion for making our world a better place shines through in this work. Year 8 students will be with their projects for the full 90 minutes, with a short break for each homeroom. Before 4:30pm, Year 8 families are welcome to visit the Year 7 Learning Gallery, and the Year 9 Expo is open all evening.

Year 9 - Expo Projects (4:00pm-7:30pm)

Atrium and Quambi

The flagship event of the evening is our Year 9 Expo, where students will showcase their passion projects. These projects are the culmination of a year’s dedication and hard work. From refurbished cars and boats to handcrafted textiles, the variety and breadth of learning on display is remarkable. Year 9 students will stay at school after 3:24pm to set up and will have pizza before the Expo opens.

Some students will have items available for purchase should you wish to support their entrepreneurial endeavours. In previous years, families have found it handy to bring some cash, but there is absolutely no obligation, and many students won’t be selling anything.
