PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Dear Parents, At this time of year in most schools there is movement of staff into new schools in the following year. I received confirmation on Friday that Mr Adrian Torrese has been appointed to the role of Assistant Principal at Our Lady of the Cape Catholic Primary in Dunsborough and he will take up the new position at the start of term one next year. Adrian has been at Sacred Heart for six years and during that time he has taught in the senior end of the school. Myself and all of the staff will miss Adrian and we wish him and his family well in this next phase of his life. We are still in the process of appointment of teaching staff for next year and when this is finalised I will notify the community.
Everyone is looking forward to Friday’s Founders Week activities. It would be wonderful to see as many people as possible to join us for Mass first thing on Friday morning. We will be doing the merit awards after Mass in the Church and Father Peter has kindly offered to present these for us this week. The Yrs 3-6 students I am sure are looking forward to their games inters day in Claremont. Friday will be rounded off with the disco. A huge thank you to all of the parents who have been working towards preparing for this.
On Friday I sent out an email with the link to a blog that I have started. Thank you to everyone who took the time to read it. There has been a problem with adding comments that I hope I have fixed now so feel free to add comments, tell us about your own experiences and share ideas.

Mass to Celebrate Founders Week Week Two is Founders Week at Sacred Heart Highgate. During this week, we remember the Founders of our school, Bishop Matthew Gibney and the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, and their love, dedication and commitment. Our school began on 25th October, 1897, and in the words of the famous song, 'From Little Things, Big Things Grow.' We give thanks for Bishop Gibney and the Sisters, who, inspired and guided by Jesus, laid the spiritual and material foundations and built this beautiful school. Many generations of children have been educated and nurtured at Sacred Highgate, and the vision and mission of the OLM Sisters proudly continues today. On Friday, 24th October, Mass will be celebrated at 9.00am. You are all very welcome to join us for this whole school Mass. Mrs Anna Sheehy (Assistant Principal)

P&F Office bearers and committee members: The P&F does a valuable job in our school community and your support is required for the Sacred Heart P&F office bearer positions of President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer in 2015. Nominations can be made at the P&F Annual General meeting which will be held on Wednesday, 26th November from 6.30pm in the School Hall. If you have any interest in nominating for these positions or as a general committee member please don’t hesitate to contact one of the existing office bearers or your P&F class representative. The P&F need you!
Swimming training: The P&F will be funding the hire of one lane at Beatty Park on Monday afternoons (3.30pm to 4.30pm) and Friday mornings (7.30am to 8am) commencing this week for Yr 3 upwards (entrance fees will apply but spectators (parents/guardians) should not be charged). The P&F have also purchased 20 kickboards for use at swimming training – these should help those who are not strong swimmers! Gingerbread House Workshop: For the past few years, the P&F have held a Gingerbread House Decoration Workshop in the lead up to Christmas. Unfortunately this year, our usual organisers are unable to run the workshop. The P&F are thus seeking two volunteers to take on this super-fun and super-rewarding task. The workshop is simple to run, and the lucky volunteers will be given all the instructions and guidance they require. If you can help run the Gingerbread House Decoration Workshop this year, please contact Juliet Bruining on [email protected] or 9328 3009. Upstairs water fountains: The P&F are investigating the installation of water coolers which should be installed during term 4.

Sacred Heart’s Got Talent - Thursday, 30th October 2014 (1.30pm School Hall)
Auditions are being completed this week. We would love to see as many parents at the show, supporting the students.
Student Art Fundraiser Last term most students from PP to Yr 6 created their special masterpieces which will be reprinted onto calendars, greeting cards and other great gifts for family and friends. The students
went to a great deal of effort and their art is truly amazing!! Order forms will be going home today plus an online order form will be attached separately from the newsletter today. Ordering is super easy, simply indicate what items you wish to order and we will collate your child’s artwork with your order. You can also submit a favourite photo online as another option. Examples of the calendars and cards plus extra forms are near the office. Please place your order and payment (cash or cheque made out to SHPS Parents & Friends Association) in an envelope marked ‘art fundraiser’ and hand into the office. All orders must be received by Wednesday, 5th November to allow enough time for production and delivery back to the school before term finishes.
Family Mass - Our next Family Mass will take place on Sunday, the 2nd of November, in the Sacred Heart Church at 9.00am. This Mass will be celebrated by Father Peter, and led by the Year Three families. You are all very warmly invited to join us for this Mass. Mrs Anna Sheehy (Assistant Principal)
FIRST HOLY COMMUNION We congratulate Santo Farinola from Year 4, who received Jesus for the first time in Holy Communion on Sunday, 19th October, at Sacred Heart Church. We pray as a community that the Sacrament of Eucharist will remain with and bless Santo always. Mrs Anna Sheehy (Assistant Principal)
From little seeds, big seeds grow! A few months ago, when John and Chiara Del Marco were helping their Dad to collect the seeds from Marigold flower heads, John came up with a good idea. He suggested that if they could harvest enough seeds, they could package them to raise money for the poor people. So, last weekend John and Chiara took 90 packets and a box of loom bands they had made to Sacred Heart Parish for parishioners to buy. People were very generous and approximately $270 was raised. This will be given to Caritas-especially for the many Syrian children (like the boy on the front page of the paper recently) who had to leave home in a hurry when war came to their towns. What a wonderful, original idea, to package seeds and make loom bands in order to raise money to help the Syrian Children. We are very proud of John and Chiara, who very selflessly gave their free time and effort in order to help others in need.

Remember when you believed in anything and everything? Researchers from the University of Western Australia are
investigating children’s tendencies to being tricked, fooled and misled by their peers. We are looking to see how this develops in children, and when children outgrow this. We are looking for parents of Kindergarten – Year 6 children (especially 10 and 11 year olds) across Australia to complete an online survey (15 – 20 minutes). Participants will go into a draw to win one of 10 $50 gift certificates to Coles/Myers. To participate go to:
