  • A huge thank you to @messagetrust for bringing the reality and dangers of County Lines to life for all of our students through the No More County Lines Tour.

Every student had the opportunity to watch the powerful performance, and from the reactions across the school, it was clear that the message really hit home.

The fantastic @nxt_chaptr performance and its thought-provoking lyrics particularly grabbed everyone’s attention and helped reinforce such an important safeguarding message.

Thank you to everyone involved for delivering such a memorable and impactful experience for our students.

Parishioners from Sacred Heart Parish visited our Year 9 students to help deepen their understanding of the Rosary and guide them in this important prayer tradition. Through their support, encouragement and witness of faith, students have developed the confidence and skills needed to lead the Rosary themselves. As a result, they will now become prayer leaders, helping to guide others in this powerful form of prayer and strengthening our school community's spiritual life.
