The Vision Statement of the School is outlined below and it and other information can be found in full on the Sacred Heart School website, www.shsfitz.melb.catholic.edu.au “We at Sacred Heart School believe that our primary aim is to foster and develop the children's faith in Christ and his Church. We try to do this by providing and maintaining a Christian environment for the development of faith in all members of the school community. We see the development of positive self-esteem and self-discipline as a means of personal growth. We will endeavour to educate the whole child by giving attention to the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical needs of each child. Because we are educating children in a multi-faith community, we commit ourselves to being sensitive to the dignity of each child. We seek to do this by developing awareness and tolerance for others in order that cooperation and respect may exist in an atmosphere conductive to the Catholic ethos.
At Sacred Heart School we encourage the children to value their own uniqueness, to discover their special qualities and to respect and value the varying cultural, academic and socio-economic differences of others. Our school will strive to provide an education which reflects the changing society in which we live. We try to cater for the needs of all our children by constantly evaluating our programs and initiatives and taking affirmative action when required. We see it as our responsibility to provide a comprehensive education which integrates Faith, History, Knowledge and Culture. We accept the task of developing in our children a sense of, happiness, satisfaction and achievement. We recognise we are, along with the parents and community, responsible for the schooling of our children so that they may enter fully into the life of our Australian contemporary society in order to become effective and productive adults." |
