Sacred Heart students lit up the stage as they journeyed down the Yellow Brick Road, bringing the beloved world of The Wizard of Oz to life in our spectacular biennial musical!
To our Sacred Heart College community
As we approach the end of Week 4 of Term 2, our Sacred Heart College community has already embraced a vibrant start to the term. From moments of reflection and celebration to creative and sporting achievements, there is much to acknowledge and appreciate in the life of our College.
In recent weeks, we enjoyed the most wonderful College Musical, The Wizard of Oz. I was fortunate to attend the Opening Night, and throughout the weeknd, often heard that such a production was befitting of being hosted in the Festival Theatre! It truly was a celebration of the exceptional Performing Arts at Sacred Heart.
I would like to congratulate and give thanks to the staff, students and indeed, their families, who gave so much time to rehearsals and preparations, enabling them to share with us such a wonderful production! Every participant, from both campuses, should be so very proud of themselves, as we are of them!
Next week, we turn our attention to National Reconciliation Week, a significant time across Australia to reflect on the journey toward healing, truth-telling, and unity. The 2025 theme, Bridging Now to Next, calls us to action; to honour the past, walk together in the present, and shape a future built on justice and respect. Across both campuses, students and staff will be engaging in activities and liturgies that encourage dialogue, learning, and solidarity with First Nations peoples.
We also prepare to host schools from across the country for the annual Marist Netball Carnival. We currently hold the title of “Marist Champions”, and look forward to defending that title on our home turf! My thanks to the many staff involved in the planning, coaching and coordination of such a significant event.
In this spirit of unity and prayer, we also keep Pope Leo XIV in our thoughts. As a global Catholic community, we join with others around the world in praying for his wisdom and spiritual leadership.
Thank you to our families, staff, and students for the many ways you contribute to our shared life at Sacred Heart. We hope you enjoy this edition of the Hearts News.

Bringing The Wizard of Oz to life at the 2025 College Musical
Over five magical performances across Week 2, more than 1000 audience members were swept away to Oz as Sacred Heart College proudly staged its 2025 College Musical, The Wizard of Oz. Featuring an outstanding cast and crew of students from Years 8 to 12, the production was a spectacular celebration of talent, collaboration, and creativity.
With imaginative staging, vibrant costumes, and a live onstage orchestra, the musical transported audiences from the dusty plains of Kansas to the technicolour wonder of Oz. The energy and professionalism displayed by the cast and crew were consistently praised, with one audience member describing it as “simply remarkable” and another calling it “better than the original 1939 movie adaptation.”
Audiences were captivated by the professionalism of the performance, with many remarking on the talent, creativity, and polish displayed by the cast and crew. Several school groups attended a matinee preview performance, and feedback highlighted the inspiration it sparked in younger students, many of whom left excited about the possibilities of performing arts.
Behind the scenes, it was the commitment and passion of students, staff, and volunteers that brought the production to life. The musical was a true community effort, involving months of rehearsal, props building, and behind-the-scenes preparation. The dedication of staff, students, musicians, backstage crew, and volunteers was clear in every polished moment.
We offer our heartfelt thanks to every student who gave their time and energy, to the families who supported them, to the dedicated staff who led the way, and to every audience member who joined us on the yellow brick road. To all involved – thank you for making this journey truly unforgettable.

Celebrating our significant women with a Mother’s Day morning tea
Mothers, grandmothers and the significant women in our students’ lives came together at Champagnat Campus on 9 May to celebrate Mother’s Day. With a large turnout of almost 300 guests, it was great to see students from Years 7 to 12 gather for a morning tea. A generous spread of baked goods from Orange Spot Bakery was a gesture to display the appreciation for all that these significant women do. A presentation on the large screen displayed students’ affirmations about their mothers and Mary, ‘our Good Mother’.
Our talented musicians provided the perfect backdrop, entertaining our guests with their wonderful performances. Gifts for our guests were also well received, thanks to our Sacred Heart College Jobs on Demand group who meticulously made these arrangements! Marist service was also on display, with Deputy Principal, Daniel Head and Head of Champagnat Campus, Beth Caldwell acting as the head baristas for the morning. It was a great morning to honour all of these women who shape our lives and we thank these families for being involved.
A Home for All Hearts: Celebrating National Boarding Week
This year we celebrated National Boarding Week from 11 – 17 May. This is always a fun occasion for our Boarding Community and our staff and students certainly invested their time and energy into ensuring it was an occasion to celebrate in 2025.
The week started off with our Year 12 Boarding Leaders presenting to our Marcellin Staff on Monday morning. On Tuesday we had a Morning Tea for our Year 9 boarders at Champagnat Campus and we held a shared dinner with day school staff on Tuesday evening, followed by tours of the Boarding House, which also extended into Wednesday afternoon. On Wednesday evening we had a themed dinner with fancy dress, followed by a Boarding Quiz Night over in the McAteer Centre. Enthusiasm and interest was still high come Thursday and our boarders engaged in a fun night of activities and a more relaxed routine as we prepared for the exeat weekend on Friday. What better way to round out the week than an opportunity for our boarders to head home for the exeat weekend to see their families.
A big shout out to our Boarding Leaders who were instrumental in helping the week be a success and well supported by our boarding students. I would also like to extend a big thank you to Boarding Activities Coordinator, Billy Campbell for all of his work in ensuring the events ran smoothly and to the day school staff for the way they also embraced National Boarding Week.
It is a special time for us as a community to celebrate our boarders and what it means to be a boarder at Sacred Heart College.

- Emily Wood, 2025 Year 9 Mission Leader

Leadership to me means setting an example and helping other people that are struggling.What does being a Marist Leader mean to you?
To me, being a Marist leader means showing up and trying to help communities both within and outside the school.

I resonate most with Presence because I think that it is really important to be fully present with the people around you and be in the moment.
What do you hope to achieve as a Leader this year?
I hope to be able to help people that are less fortunate, and those that are going through a hard time.
A teacher I admire at SHC is:
A teacher that I admire is Ms Davies because she is very kind and understanding, and she always helps everyone when they need it.

- Jess Humphry, 2025 Year 12 Mission Captain
What does leadership mean to you?
To me leadership is about being a voice and support for all. It’s about respecting all people and treating everyone equally. It’s about leading with others, not above. I think one of the most important parts of leadership is to be able to go out of your way; to be present, to help without being asked, and to always be there for others.
What does being a Marist Leader mean to you?
To embody the Marist Characteristics through everyday life. To treat all people with love and without judgement, and to always be present, live in the moment, and appreciating everything as it comes.

Presence, as I believe it is very important to stay in the moment, not stuck in the past or stressing about the future. It is important to remain present and experience all that is around you, taking each moment as it comes.
What do you hope to achieve as a Leader this year?
To make a difference to anyone I can. I would love to try and strengthen our sense of Family Spirit and bring our College together through more fun events. I would also love to be a person that anyone of any year level can come and talk to if they’re struggling with anything. I hope to go to local Primary Schools and help students with their social justice programs/homework club/to socialise as we have done in previous years. I’m so excited to work with Fiona, Mr Fernandez, Tash and the Mission team to make so many of our other ideas come to life too, and to hopefully make a difference!A teacher I admire at SHC is:
Kurt Harrison. He always looks at every situation with positivity. He is one of the kindest and most genuine people, and is so supportive of everyone around him, always making everyone smile. He is an amazing teacher, not only for his guidance, skill and passion for what he does helping his students, but for his genuine, caring personality.
The best thing about attending SHC is:
The family-like atmosphere and all the amazing opportunities. And definitely the Immersions, which I had the privilege to experience last year in Fiji – the most unreal experience. The opportunity to experience another culture and to form a new family with the Immersions group was incredible. I just love the overall sense of Family Spirit within our College too.
Three words that describe my personality are:
Creative, hardworking, and passionate.
My favourite book is:
‘The Resilience Project’ by Hugh van Cuylenburg.

It changes a lot, but right now I love ‘Iris’ by the Goo Goo Dolls.

How to play guitar.
If you were a superhero, who would you be?
Spiderman because he helps others and gets to swing around the city, which looks like fun.
Laudato Si’ Week Australia
Last week marked Laudato Si’ Week, a time to honour Pope Francis’ transformative encyclical letter. Marian House celebrated a Mass, highlighting the importance of advocacy and action in caring for our common home. After the Mass, student leaders from both Champagnat and Marcellin Campuses came together to plant a Marian tree as a symbol of their commitment to putting faith into action.
Year 12 Retreat Day 4
The Year 12 Retreat program continued on Tuesday with House groups venturing off campus for Retreat Day 4, an opportunity to reconnect following a largely successful two night Year 12 Retreat experience in March.
The Year 12 cohort spent time considering the highlights and challenges of the year so far, the key moments to come in 2025 and what and who they are grateful for. A huge thank you to the Class of 2025 for their engagement in the Retreat and to the staff for their efforts in facilitating the day.
Stage 2 Geography Excursion
The Stage 2 Geography cohort travelled to and around the Yorke Peninsula on a field trip linked to their summative assessment. We had the privilege of being led and guided to significant Adjahdura Narungga cultural sites by Adjahdura Narungga Elder and tour guide, Quenten Agius. The students were able to build a positive bi-cultural relationship with Quenten to better understand the impacts of the wider tourism industry on sites that are culturally important to the Adjahdura Narungga people.
Over the three day period, students:
- heard and observed the impacts of colonisation on the Adjahdura Narungga people and their land;
- heard, visited dreaming sites and understood the meaning behind Adjahdura Narungga language and lore stories’
- understood how the contemporary Yorke Peninsula community are attempting to build positive relationships to try and conserve significant Adjahdura Narungga sites;
- and discovered how current legislation and bureaucracy is preventing the sustainable management of significant Adjahdura Narungga sites.
Using the data and fieldwork collected, students will compile a report illustrating their findings to then provide recommendations as to how to better manage the negative impacts on the significant Adjahdura sites.
Many thanks must go to Quenten for sharing his culture and life so openly with the students as a part of our long standing relationship. We value his openness and look forward to working with him in the future. It was a very valuable opportunity that most Australians do not get and one that will provide another element of depth to the students work and geographical ideology going into their final year of senior schooling. A big thanks to the staff Adriana Cvorkov and Will Rana for supervising the students and supporting me to ensure the success of the trip. Your valuable input is much appreciated.

Building relationships at the Immersion Formation Camp
The 2025 Immersion teams recently participated in a two-day formation camp, held at Nunyara Conference Centre in Belair on 11-12 May. The primary focus was team building and getting to know each other on a deeper level, a crucial component of the immersion year, especially the overseas Immersion experience later this year. Furthermore, they explored the Marist virtues of Humility, Simplicity and Modesty, their perception of privilege and challenge, and some of the cultural differences that will confront our travellers.
Thank you to the Immersion staff for their presence and contribution to the formation camp, and to the families who joined us for the initial part of the retreat.
Honouring history at the Vietnam Veterans Federation Commemorative Ceremony
Last Friday two Year 11 History students represented the College at the Vietnam Veterans Federation Annual Memorial Service to commemorate the Battle for Fire Support Patrol Bases Coral and Balmoral that took place in South Vietnam during May and June 1968. This ceremony also commemorated the 50th year anniversary of the fall of Saigon.
Klara Guse and Lucas Wilson read a short summary of the battle, and then a poem ‘Tell Their Stories’ by Kelly Roper. They also placed a commemorative gift at the cross of remembrance. Klara and Lucas represented the College with pride, and their presence at the ceremony showed our respect for the service given by members of our community.
Inspiring Excellence – Year 9s experience learning in the senior years
A selection of our high achieving Year 9 students recently had the opportunity to visit Marcellin Campus for a half day of enrichment and exploration. These visits are designed to give students a taste of our senior learning environment, where they participate in a range of engaging activities led by our specialist senior staff.
During the visit, students took part in hands-on science experiments, collaborated with peers, viewed senior classes and were challenged by complex tasks and thinking problems. They also had the chance to engage in open discussion with the Director of Teaching and Learning Marcellin Campus, Mr Alex Daw and some current students in accelerated pathways, gaining valuable insights into senior learning at Marcellin.
It was a rewarding experience that nurtured curiosity, deepened understanding, and inspired our students to continue striving for excellence.

Congratulations to staff member, Natasha Smith, who was awarded the 2025 Catholic Education South Australia Award for Experienced Teacher (Secondary).
Since joining Sacred Heart College in 2020, Natasha has made a profound and lasting impact on our Mathematics faculty. She embodies the Marist characteristics of Presence and Love of Work, walking alongside her students with care and compassion, while leading her colleagues with humility and purpose.
With a deep commitment to learning, mentoring, and curriculum innovation, Natasha uplifts not only her own students but the entire Hearts community. Her approach reflects Marist Simplicity and service, always placing the needs of others first and leading ‘In the Way of Mary’ – gently, quietly, and with great strength.

Year 11 student soars to success at International Drone Racing Tournament
We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible achievement of Year 11 student Angus “McQueen” Porter, who recently competed at the prestigious Military International Drone Racing Tournament (MIRDT) held in Lake Placid, New York.
Representing the Australian Defence Force Drone Racing Team, Angus competed against 36 of the world’s best military drone pilots, securing an outstanding 3rd place overall. Even more impressively, the Australian team dominated the competition, taking out 1st place for the fourth year in a row!
Angus, also known by his racing callsign “McQueen”, is a cadet with the Australian Army Cadets and builds, programs, and pilots high-speed drones with remarkable precision and agility.
Earlier this year, Angus showcased his talent at the Avalon International Airshow, which led to his selection as one of only three cadet pilots to represent Australia on the international stage.
While in the United States, Angus and his teammates had the opportunity to explore the historic 1980 Winter Olympics site in Lake Placid before heading to Albany as invited guests to a local drone event. The lead-up to the big event at Lewis included days of intense practice racing, setting the stage for the fiercely competitive tournament.
We congratulate Angus on his dedication, talent, and hard work, and look forward to seeing where his passion for drone racing takes him next.
Arts News
Lights, Camera, Action! – Year 8 & 9 Media in Production
Over the past few weeks, both our Year 8 and Year 9 Media students have been immersed in the filmmaking process, transforming ideas into dynamic screen productions. As part of a recent on-campus incursion, Year 9 students directed and filmed short pieces inspired by the iconic styles of Alfred Hitchcock and Wes Anderson. From dramatic tension to symmetrical storytelling, students scouted unique school locations to bring their vision to life checking framing, rehearsing scenes, and showing strong responsibility throughout the creative process.
At the same time, Year 8 students have been busy planning and filming their own genre-based productions, experimenting with storytelling conventions and cinematic techniques suited to crime, action, romance, and more.
Media Arts nurtures not only creativity and technical skills but also essential life skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, time management, and problem-solving. These projects give students a taste of real-world media production and spark interest in future pathways within film, television, design, journalism, and digital storytelling. We look forward to celebrating the final edits in class viewings soon!

Students take on The Bend for the Race 2 of the Pedal Prix
Last Saturday, 24 students from across the College took part in the 2025 Pedal Prix season competing in Race 2 at The Bend Motorsport Park, Tailem Bend. With limited time in the trikes due to training venue restrictions, the students quickly learned the basics, whilst returning riders helped out with their personal experiences in previous events.
The Bend has excellent facilities, allowing teams to set up in the Pit garages to support their teams, just like the V8 Supercars or Formula 1 teams. Spectators have great views from the grandstands and atop the main building over the entire track. The Bend has its own ‘crash corner’, a tight hairpin turn that saw a number of trikes roll over on the very first lap! This year, the start of the race was impacted by rain that saw visibility reduced and trikes sliding all over the track with the slick tyres just not holding tight in the wet.
HeartBurn was an early victim of the soggy conditions, sustaining race-ending damage. Thankfully the rider was safe as the roll cage and helmet did their job. After the rain stopped and the track dried up, our teams settled into racing and performed admirably achieving the following results:
BraveHeart – Seniors
24th place in Category S3 with 65 laps and a fastest lap speed of 3:51 mins and the top speed of 43.549km/hr
HeartBeat – Mixed years
26th place in Category S2 with 52 laps and a fastest lap time of 4:10 mins and the top speed of 40.225km/hr
HeartBurn – Mixed years
Was on the track for 18.3 mins
HeartAttack – Year 7s
27nd place in Category S2 with 52 laps and a fastest speed of 4:10 mins and the top speed of 40.268 km/hr
The overall winner on the day out of 171 teams was a community team, ELEMNT Racing,
ION with 104 laps and a fastest lap speed of 3:03.359 mins and the top speed of 54.974km/hr!
Special thanks to all who help with maintenance and support tasks to ensure the event runs safely and smoothly. Also, thanks to parents, caregivers and family members who pitched in to help out with a variety of jobs including track marshals, assistance with teams in the pits and those who supervised in The Paddock area.
A big thank you to the riders of HeartBurn who had to unexpectedly pivot and took to riding in other trikes easily. A great team effort!
We look forward to our next race on Sunday June 15 at Victoria Park Racecourse.
Mountain Bike Championships
The School Sport SA Mountain Bike Championships were held at Sturt Gorge on Thursday 8 May, where Sacred Heart College was proudly represented by 17 Year 7/8 boys and 9 Year 9-11 students across both campuses. The boys competed in teams, aiming to complete as many laps of the challenging course as possible within the time limit.
The event saw great enthusiasm and sportsmanship, with all teams giving their best efforts. The top Year 7/8 team finished an impressive 21st out of 66 teams, while the Year 9/10 team secured 34th place out of 51 teams and the Year 11 team finished 25th out of 30 teams.
A big congratulations to all the boys who participated, showing determination and positive team spirit throughout the competition!
Sacred Heart success in SANFL Under 20 Showcase
A number of Sacred Heart College students and Old Scholars proudly represented Sacred Heart College in last week’s SANFL Under 20 program, which concluded with a showcase match against the SANFL Under 18 squad at Norwood Oval.
With staff member Steve Kay acting as Assistant Coach for the team, the match served as a curtain-raiser to the National Under 18 Championships and attracted significant interest from AFL recruiters, who were in Adelaide for both the youth clash and the SANFL Men’s fixture at Adelaide Oval.
Among the standout players was 2024 graduate Ned Atkinson (SHOC ‘24), who was named Captain of the Under 20 side, a wonderful achievement reflecting both his leadership and football ability. Will Patton (SHOC ‘22), another Old Scholar, delivered a dominant performance and was awarded Best on Ground, reinforcing his reputation as one of South Australia’s top young talents.
Current Year 12 student, Luke Candy also featured in the match, joining fellow Old Scholars, Harry Ramm (SHOC ‘24) and Tom McKay (SHOC ‘24) in representing the College with pride. Their performances showcased the talent developed through the Hearts Football Program and the strong tradition of excellence it upholds.
The SANFL Under 20 squad was selected from nominated players across the league, with consideration given to form, performance, and AFL club interest. The resulting team highlighted some of the state’s brightest prospects, with Sacred Heart College well represented on and off the field.
We congratulate all of our students and Old Scholars involved for their exceptional efforts and achievements in this prestigious program.
