School Board

Aims of the school board

Our school board aims to nurture and celebrate the religious character of our school. It assists with the development of guidelines to support the implementation of Diocesan policies and may also identify specific areas of school life they believe require the development of policies.
Board meetings are held once each month.
​

  • Identify, enunciate, nurture and celebrate the Special Religious Character of the school

  • Support processes developed by the school staff aimed at improving student learning outcomes in accordance with the education vision and mission

  • Promote Catholic education that:

    • Lives out the local Church’s education mission

    • Strives for educational excellence

    • Contributes to society

Decision Making

The philosophy and practice of Collaborative Ministry and Sharing Wisdom are the essence of decision making and ministry of Boards.

“To each the Lord gives a piece of the wisdom. To no one does He give all the wisdom of God. We all get different pieces. And as a consequence, we must share our wisdom. We must hear, respect and treasure one another’s wisdom. We must work for a climate that is open and respectful.”

Policy Development

Schools adopt polices approved by the Diocesan Education Council. The School Board may need to develop guidelines to support the implementation of these policies. School Boards may also identify specific areas of school life they believe require the development of policies.

Meetings

Board Meetings are held once each month. An Annual General Meeting is held once a year. Parents wishing to serve on the School Board must attend an in-service which deals with aims and responsibilities and shared decision making.

Reconciliation Action plan

  • Our Vision for Reconciliation at Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School is fostering of a mutual respect between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people and non-Indigenous people entrenched in the values and moral of a Catholic School. We will do this through:

  • Providing students opportunities to be successful through education

  • Acknowledgement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and Tradition

  • Knowledge, understanding and empathy of the unique journeys of all people brought together in the Sacred Heart Community

  • Empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to be proud of the cultural diversity that they bring to Sacred Heart School and the power of change that comes with sharing and celebrating their diversity with school, local community and globally.
