Our identity is anchored in our Mercy values. They live every day in the way our students support one another and engage with the world around them. Whether that is exploring new interests in Year 7 or preparing for life beyond our gates, our students are surrounded by a network of dedicated staff and peers who champion their success.
Our students make up the heart of our College. We invite you to experience the energy of our community first-hand and see how a Sacred Heart education can empower your student to thrive.
It is never too early to join the Sacred Heart community. While formal applications do not open until your student is in Grade 6, we encourage families to register their interest early.
