Sacre Coeur College
Sacré Cœur – School of the Sacred Heart
Welcome to Sacré Cœur – a leading independent Catholic school, educating girls from Prep to Year 12 in the Sacred Heart tradition. Our proud history dates back 200 years and is built on respect, faith, spirit and community. Today, we continue to embrace these values in a contemporary education setting where our young women are inspired and challenged to shape the world.
Sacré Cœur goes beyond outstanding academic results, with dynamic co-curricular opportunities for all and a holistic approach to learning. An approach which values personalised learning and small class sizes, so that all students benefit from the broad offering of academic subjects which help to instil confidence, resilience and compassion – qualities that make a real-world difference.
A Place to Thrive
At Sacré Cœur we offer accessible, agile and innovative learning environments in which our students and staff can flourish in and out of the classroom. Our single-campus schooling experience enables us to map out learning from Prep to Year 12, with innovative learning environments and extensive co-curricular facilities, including a gym, lecture theatre, tennis courts, science and state-of-the-art robotics labs and creative arts facilities.
And our ground-breaking new STEAM learning centre – the St Madeleine Sophie Barat Centre – delivers 21st century education to our students across science, technology, mathematics, and creative arts. Known as the Sophie Centre, the building emphasises a cross-curricular approach, continuing Sacré Cœur’s historic ethos, which has always strived to create well-rounded, future ready young women.
Student Wellbeing
Wellbeing entails all dimensions of a person: the intellectual, social and emotional, moral, physical, aesthetic and spiritual. At the heart of our School, is a deep and active regard for each young woman’s wellbeing. Our School policies, programs, structures and curriculum and, in fact, all our undertakings, are student-centred.
At Sacré Cœur, student wellbeing means the pursuit of excellence and rigour, in the context of a growth mindset, within a supportive and nurturing learning environment. Such an environment affords all students experiences of connectedness, a sense of belonging, engagement and positive, respectful relationships with peers and teachers.
Self-worth, purpose, tenacity, optimism and hope lie at the heart of Sacré Cœur’s Student Wellbeing philosophy.
Brynmawr Music School
Music ignites the soul, and as such, is an intrinsic part of life at Sacré Cœur. We deliver both traditional and contemporary music programs as part of a holistic approach to education. From orchestras and choir to concert bands and vocals, our suite of ensemble programs allows students at all levels of schooling to express and showcase their talents.
