Prayer

Holy Spirit, be on our lips, that we may speak the truth in kindness,
put your glow in our eyes, that we may see what is good in life and in all people
Holy Spirit, burn in our ears, that we may hear with deep listening,
be in our arms and hands, that we may serve others with care
Holy Spirit, be in our legs and feet so that we may walk the earth with respect
and give thanks for its life-giving nourishment
Holy Spirit, brand our hearts with the eternal flame of your love,
that we may become the bearers of peace, beauty, hope, harmony and Reconciliation.

This week’s prayer reflects the significant commitment that Sacred Heart College took recently by commencing the journey towards becoming a FIRE (Friends Igniting Reconciliation through Education) Carrier school. This program is a way for Catholic schools to promote respect, fairness and inclusion for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples committing our school community to a covenant, a partnership towards reconciliation.

2026 Year 7 & 10 Laptop Purchases

Next year will be the third and final year in Sacred Heart College’s transition to a parent-purchase model of student laptops. In the first week of next term, families will be provided with details on the laptops to be purchased as well as access to the school portals to facilitate these orders.

As has been the case in previous years, parents are expected to purchase the nominated device via the school portal using the nominated provider (Learning with Technology). Sacred Heart College will not provide network access to devices purchased or sourced externally

At this stage, we anticipate the Year 7 device to cost around $1200 and the Year 10 device to cost approximately $1750.
