Educating in a spirit of audacity and hope
Role of the Foundation
The Sacred Heart College Foundation was established in 1989 with a focus to enhance the rich and vibrant traditions of Sacred Heart College Senior.
The Foundation provides financial support to the College via donations and other financial support from current and past parents, old scholars and friends of the school community.
The aim of the Foundation is to develop friendships within the broader school community through functions and activities. One of these functions is the 4WD Sacred Sights Tour.
The Foundation is also responsible for the annual giving campaign, reunions, archival requests, publication of Heartbeat, maintenance of the database and provides assistance to the Sacred Heart Old Collegians Association with their database, administration and publication of the Blue & Blue.
The office is downstairs in Paringa Hall, next to the Parlour and holds all the archive material in relation to the history of the College, together with a display of some memorabilia from days gone by. There are a variety of old school blazers which have been framed and are on display in Paringa Hall which we are sure will be a source of interest to many old and new scholars alike.
An annual general meeting is held each year which all members of the community are welcome to attend.
Since its inception in 1989 the Foundation has supported the following projects:-
1. SHC Senior Boarding House Stage 2
2. SHC Senior Boarding House Stage 4
3. SHC Hospitality Centre
4. Relocation of Marymount College
5. SHC Middle School Performing Arts Centre
6. SHC Senior Performing Arts Centre
7. Marcellin Learning Centre
8. Extension to Girls Boarding House
