Principal’s Message

Principal’s Message: Welcome to March! As we are quickly approaching our Spring Break, it will hopefully lead to some warmer weather, and new growth heading into Spring! At Sacred Heart we continue to see growth in all of our students, and it is so exciting to see all of the dynamic and meaningful work from all of our staff! I want to express my sincere gratitude to our Gala Committee for spending so much time in their preparations for our Gala Event on March 7

th, 2020! As we “ROAR into the 20’s” at

this year’s event, we are so thankful for the time for our school community to come together and celebrate our fondness for Sacred Heart. As well, this event always has such a positive impact on our students, and their learning here at the school. Thank you to all that are involved, our school community would not be as strong as it is without our volunteers’ support! Warmest regards, Bryan MacLean

They are NOT used in the “tuition payment” portion of your tax return—that is for post secondary tuition payments only. Please call the school office if you have any questions.

Account statements were sent out in February. Please remember that payments are due on either the 1st or 15th of each month. Fees for the current school year must be paid in full by June 30, 2020.
