COMMUNITY NEWS

BRISBANE BRONCOS' VISIT
Last Friday, former Brisbane Broncos’ player: Michael Hancock, Casey Maguire and David Stagg visited our school and did a training session with our Year 6s. Our children gained a great deal from their time with these men who not only developed their rugby league skills but also spoke about setting goals and the qualities of a great team person. 

​Many thanks to our regional development officer, Mr Tyson White, for organising the visit and also attending on the day.
WELCOME BBQ BREAKFAST FOR SACRED HEART FAMILIES
Our school’s Parents and Friends’ Association is having a Welcome BBQ breakfast for all Sacred Heart families on Sunday 15th March, 9am to 10.30am in our MPA.  It is a free breakfast including bacon and egg burgers, sausages, scones, tea, coffee, fruit poppers. There will also be activities for everyone to be involved in and jumping castles. Looking forward to seeing lots of our families in attendance.

​SHROVE / PANCAKE TUESDAY
The day before Lent commences is known as Pancake (or Shrove) Tuesday. This year, it is Tuesday 25th February.  A day when traditionally pancakes were made to use up all the eggs, milk and lard before the Lenten fast began when people not only cut back on food but also ate very simply.  ​
Proceeds from Pancake Tuesday will go to the Project Compassion Appeal. Please support this worthy cause.
Breakfast commences at 7.45am in our multi-purpose area. Pancakes are $1 each and poppers are $1. All invited.

​ASH WEDNESDAY
Ash Wednesday comes from the ancient Jewish tradition of penance and fasting. The practice includes the wearing of ashes, in a cross, on the forehead. The ashes symbolise the dust from which God made us and is a reminder that we will return to God one day.  On Wednesday 26th February, students and staff will be involved in Ash Wednesday liturgies or the parish mass.
  • Children in Years 4-6 will attend the 9am mass at Sacred Heart Church. 
  • Children in Prep – Year 3 will participate in year level liturgies throughout the day as follows:
    • Prep: 12:30pm at school
    • Year 1: 11:45am at school
    • Year 2: 10:15am at school
    • Year 3: 9am at school

All are welcome to attend any of these services to mark the beginning of Lent.
