To our Sacred Heart Community
Welcome to Sacred Heart
Last week, over two hundred enrolment interviews were conducted with families and their children seeking enrolment in 2022. Many of these conversations began with ‘Welcome to Sacred Heart!’.
For the past few months we have had to endure a crisis whereby people beyond our students and staff could not be welcomed physically onto Champagnat Campus or Marcellin Campus.
In response, we’ve put together a ‘virtual welcome’. We have chosen not to do this as a tour of our buildings and facilities, but to invite students and staff to share their views of various aspects of the College.
Welcome to Sacred Heart – 2020 style!

Feast of the Sacred Heart
Today is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, one of the greatest devotions of Christianity in our Church. For our community, it is particularly significant – it is our name! And what a beautiful name it is.
To appropriately acknowledge our identity as a Marist community would be to acknowledge the significance of this Feast Day – where we recognise the infinite love of Jesus Christ. We need look no further than the centre of our College crest as a reminder of this devotion. Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our trust in you.

Brother Joe Hughes Book Launch
Brother Joe Hughes is a cherished and active member of our Marist Community. This year he celebrates his Diamond Jubilee – 60 years as a Marist Brother. To commemorate this occasion, Br. Joe has written an autobiographical memoir to his nieces and nephews which tell his life story; from his early days at a Marist school in rural WA, to his first Principalship in Melbourne, his assignment in the Solomon Islands, and now as a member of the Adelaide Marist community.
A small gathering of Brothers, Members of the Marist Association and Staff gathered last Friday evening to launch the book, “Brother John aka Brother Joe Hughes”.
Congratulations Br. Joe!
