Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Primary School Darra

Our Readers Cup teams had a wonderful morning competing at St Aidans today 📕 While we didn’t place top 3, the students enjoyed working together and learning more about the writing process from author Sarah Armstrong. Big thanks to Miss Cossell for organising our entry into this fun competition! 🏆 📚

Term 2 - Week 9
Looking forward to seeing lots of you OLSH this week.

Term 2 - Week 8
Stay dry with some more rainy weather coming our way! Make sure to pack raincoats in your children's bags!

It is with deep sadness that we inform our wider OLSH community of the passing of Mrs Deanne Fletcher, a long‑serving and highly respected member of our school community.

Mrs Fletcher was a valued staff member over the last 20 years, giving generously of her time, care, and expertise to our students and families. In recent times, Mrs Fletcher faced illness with remarkable bravery, optimism, and positivity, qualities that so strongly reflected the person so many of us knew and admired.

Mrs Fletcher’s contribution to our school has been profound, and she will be deeply missed by staff, students, and families alike. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs Fletcher’s family and loved ones during this very difficult time.

Loving God,
We give thanks for the life of Deanne Fletcher and for the many years she shared her gifts so generously with our school community. We pray that you welcome her into your eternal care and grant comfort, strength, and peace to her family, friends, and all who grieve her loss.

Be close to Deanne's family, our students and staff in this time of sadness. May they feel your presence, your compassion, and your hope, and may we continue to support one another with kindness and love.
Amen.

Eternal Rest Grant unto her O' Lord
And Perpetual Light shine upon her
May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God Rest in Peace.

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart - Pray for Us!
And may we always remember to - pray for others!
