Sacred Heart College Kyneton

Congratulations to Year 10 students Matilda and Koby on their appointment to the inaugural Youth Council!
Matilda has also been elected Deputy Youth Mayor for the next 12 months after delivering a compelling speech to fellow Youth Councillors.
We're incredibly proud to see our students representing the voices of young people in the community and look forward to the positive impact they will make through their leadership and advocacy.
Join us in congratulating Matilda and Koby on this exciting achievement!

Here's a glimpse of our Year 9 students enjoying their alpine camp at Falls Creek. We look forward to welcoming them home tomorrow. ❄

The first round of the 2026 Junior Chef Competition was held today in the Frayne Hospitality Centre, with students from our local Catholic primary schools taking part.

Supported by Sacred Heart College student mentors and staff, teams were challenged to create a tzatziki dip with fresh vegetables and homemade pita chips. Working together, they focused on presentation, teamwork and time management to complete their dishes within the competition timeframe. Students thoroughly enjoyed the experience, with many keen to make the delicious pita chips at home.

Today's scores will be combined with those from the Grand Final in two weeks, where the 2026 Junior Chef champions will be crowned. Congratulations to all involved, you should be very proud of your efforts! We look forward to welcoming teams back in two weeks for the next stage of the competition.🏆

God of all people. We thank you for Mary MacKillop who like your Son Jesus reached out to the poor, the isolated, the rejected and all in need with a compassionate and loving heart. As we walk in her footsteps may we see with her eyes, listen with her ears and love with her heart. May we respond in practical ways wherever we see a need. We ask this in Jesus’ name, the One who shows us the way of compassion and love. Amen

Today, our students participated in the Frayne Speech Festival, hosted by St Aloysius College, North Melbourne. The College was proudly represented across all three competition categories: Public Speaking, Debating and Voice Choir. It was a fantastic experience, bringing together students from 13 Mercy schools from across Victoria and one from South Australia.

We were especially thrilled to have our Voice Choir named winners for the second consecutive year, a wonderful achievement that reflects the talent, dedication and hard work of our students and staff. 🏆

Our Public Speaking and Debating students represented the College with confidence and enthusiasm, gaining valuable experience and embracing the challenge of competition. The day also provided a wonderful opportunity to connect with students from other Mercy schools and celebrate the power of the spoken word.

Congratulations to all students who represented the College with confidence, enthusiasm and pride.

Today we celebrated our Learning Leaders and the many achievements of our students at our Learning Leadership Awards Assembly.

These awards recognise students who have consistently demonstrated dedication, perseverance and commitment to their learning throughout Semester One.

We also had the opportunity to farewell our visitors from Ibaraki Nishi High School, exchanging gifts and celebrating the strong friendships formed through our Sister School partnership.

The assembly featured fantastic performances from our Voice Choir, who will represent the College at the Frayne Speech Festival tomorrow, and one of our talented student musicians. We also welcomed a special guest from Bank First who presented a generous grant as part of a Teaching Initiatives Program, supporting our Junior School students.

Congratulations to all students recognised and all performers who helped make today's assembly so memorable.

Congratulations to Sacred Heart College students Isabelle (Year 10) and Madeline (Year 7), whose winning artwork from the Macedon Ranges Shire Council Recycling Art Competition is now featured on Council waste collection trucks!

🚛Isabelle's design encourages residents to be an "Everyday Hero" by using the correct bin, while Madeline's artwork inspires the community to "Choose to Reuse" and make small changes for a healthier environment.♻️

As the trucks travel across the Macedon Ranges, thousands of residents will see their powerful sustainability messages. What an incredible achievement and a wonderful example of young people using creativity to drive positive environmental action.

It's hard to believe that our visitors from Ibaraki Nishi High School in Osaka have already been with us for a week!

As part of our long-standing sister school partnership, students have been attending classes with their Sacred Heart hosts, participating in Japanese and French lessons, and even joining a Politics class. Over the weekend, they also enjoyed exploring some of Victoria's iconic sights.

Their visit coincided perfectly with our Languages Week celebrations, which saw students enjoying Japanese games, building the Eiffel Tower, and taking part in Djembe and Kendo sessions.

We are delighted to welcome our guests and celebrate the friendships, cultural exchange and global connections that make these experiences so special.
