“Sacred Heart Girls’ College is seen as an inclusive, welcoming, respectful and collegial community that is inspired by the charism and practices of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions (RNDM) and has a strong commitment to Catholic Social Teaching” (School Review Report 2026)
As mentioned in an earlier newsletter, this year Sacred Heart participated in the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) School Improvement Review, which takes place every four years. The reviewed examined five spheres: Religious Dimension, Learning & Teaching, Leadership & Management, Student Engagement and School Community.
During Term 3, external reviewers visited the College and met with staff, students, members of the Advisory Council, and parents. They explored learning programs and curriculum documentation, and analysed data including PAT, NAPLAN and VCE results, as well as MACSIS survey feedback from staff, students and families. The reviewers identified both strengths and areas for improvement across each of the five spheres. These findings were recently presented to the leadership team during a dialogue and engagement session, where the detailed report was discussed. The next step will be to use these findings to inform the development of our next four-year School Improvement Plan, which will be shared with the College community next year.
Thank you to the students, parents and carers who contributed to the review process and provided valuable perspectives that have helped shape our future planning.
