"Mixed Feelings"

We've been at Sacred Heart for a year now, and while we appreciate the school's focus on faith and community, we've experienced some inconsistent teaching quality. The facilities are good, but we've had some issues with the playground equipment being out of order. Overall, we're still deciding whether to stay or not.

"Excellent Education, Friendly Staff"

Our child attended Sacred Heart from Reception to Year 6, and we were thoroughly impressed with the education they received. The staff were always supportive and communicated well with us. We especially appreciated the school's commitment to Little Wandle reading program.
