Principal's Welcome

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Sacred Heart College Senior, a Catholic school in the Marist tradition in Adelaide, South Australia.

Sacred Heart College Senior is a co-educational senior secondary school for students in Years 10 to 12. Situated in a seaside suburb of Adelaide and adjacent to the historic and popular suburb of Glenelg, Sacred Heart has provided quality education in the South West Region for over a century.

The College was founded at Port Adelaide in 1897 by Brother Stephen Debourg, a Marist Brother and was relocated to its present site in 1914.

The Marist Brothers were founded in France by Saint Marcellin Champagnat in the early years of the nineteenth century and they were subsequently invited to establish schools in Australia, arriving in 1872.

Contemporary Marist educators share and continue Marcellin's dream of transforming the lives of young people, particularly the least favoured, through offering them an integral education, both human and spiritual, based on personal respect for each other and a commitment to learning.

I thank you for your interest in Sacred Heart College Senior. Should you have any queries about the college or enrolment possibilities, please contact our enrolment registrar who will be most pleased to assist you.

Should you decide that Sacred Heart College Senior is the school best suited to nurture your daughter or son in a caring Christian environment, I welcome you to our college family and look forward to a long and happy association.

 

Dr Paul Hine,

Principal
