My Learning Journey (MLJ) at Sacred Heart College empowers students to design their unique learning pathway for the coming years, building on their passions, capabilities and strengths. Recognising the diverse nature of individual learning journeys, the College offers opportunities to create personalised programs based on learner readiness.
MLJ is a structured framework guiding students’ overall school experience. This approach shapes their education by integrating subject selection, faith, wellness and extracurricular programs, with carefully designed core requirements and electives that link choices to future aspirations.
Comprehensive support is available through a dedicated MLJ website, subject portal, mentor guidance and data-informed teacher recommendations for students and families. Events such as the Subject and Careers Expos, alongside individual consultations, further assist with pathway planning.

The Retreat Road gates have been repaired and can be used by students and visitors to enter the College grounds. A reminder to families that the George Street gate is not to be used for student drop off. This entry is for staff and construction contractors only as it is not a designated pedestrian entrance. In the interests of safety, please use the Retreat Road drop off. Alternatively, students may also enter via the Court Precinct on Aphrasia Street between 8.00am and 9.00am.
