Yesterday our VCE Music students had the incredible opportunity to learn from internationally renowned guitarist Alex Tsiboulski. Students took part in a masterclass, private lessons and enjoyed a captivating concert.
A former Fulbright Scholar and winner of major international competitions, Alex shared his expertise in stagecraft, musical interpretation and technique. His recital showcased works ranging from the 1820s through to contemporary guitar repertoire.
We are extremely grateful to Alex for his time, insight and inspiring performance.

Today, our Sustainability Leaders organised a whole-school litter pick-up competition to help care for our environment and raise awareness about the impact of litter.

With teams competing enthusiastically across the school grounds, students collected an incredible 537 pieces of litter in a single lunchtime!

A huge congratulations to all students who participated. Every piece of litter removed helps create a cleaner, healthier environment for our school and local community.

Small actions can make a big difference.

As part of National Reconciliation Week, the Sacred Heart College community gathered for our annual Makarrata Assembly - honouring truth-telling, justice, and walking alongside First Nations peoples.
The word Makarrata, from the Yolngu language, means “coming together after a struggle.” This spirit shaped the focus of the assembly as students and staff reflected on reconciliation through listening, relationship, and action. The assembly opened with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony by Taungurung Elder Peter Moser.
We proudly reaffirm our commitment to inclusion, rejecting racism and intolerance, and being people of peace. Highlights included the College Choir performing Beds Are Burning and the commissioning of new FIRE Carriers - students committed to advancing reconciliation through education, faith, and action.

Last Friday, two of our incredible Year 10 students were recognised at the Macedon Ranges Shire Council Community Awards - celebrating individuals who inspire and strengthen our community through their passion and service.
𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 was nominated in the Youth Leadership category for her outstanding contributions through the Live 4 Life crew, as a Welcome Buddy, and as a student leader at SHC. We’re thrilled to share she was named runner-up!
𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 (𝐓𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐲) 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰𝐬 was awarded Young Citizen of the Year - a testament to her commitment as a youth leader and volunteer, advocating for young people and championing social justice initiatives. Tilly shared this honour with disability and inclusion advocate, Tate Kemp.
Congratulations to both students, along with all nominees and award recipients. Thank you for the amazing difference you make in our community - you’re an inspiration to us all! ❤

Today marks the start of National Reconciliation Week. This year's NRW theme is 'All In' - a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. We look forward to gathering as a College tomorrow for our annual Makarrata Assembly, an opportunity to pause and reflect on our commitment to reconciliation, truth-telling, and walking gently and justly alongside First Nations peoples.
