Our Lady Of The Sacred Heart College
About Us
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College (OLSH) is an independent Catholic secondary school for girls, administered by the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.
The College is built on a tradition of inspiring excellence in girls' education and nurturing a deep connection to each other.
This connection has at its foundation a commitment to growth as human beings who recognise and live compassion, who strive to give of our best in all that we undertake and who are captured by the call to reach out to others from our hearts.
Curriculum
We provide a dynamic learning environment that offers opportunity for academic growth across a broad range of subjects and fosters critical thinking and a curiosity for learning. We encourage our students to pursue an education that reflects their passion and talents, and to take every opportunity presented to them in the classroom, in co-curricular and outreach activities and as leaders representing their peers across all aspects of life at the College.
Our Year 9 Program - Issoudun
Our Year 9 curriculum program is augmented by an interstate residential program and inquiry-based activity program that fosters independence, cooperative learning and positive relationships. The program is a unique opportunity where our students spend four weeks in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, building their independence and completing their curriculum in a different setting and format.
The residential program provides our students with the opportunity to celebrate their giftedness, grow in faith, embrace their learning, build positive relationships and teamwork skills, venture beyond their comfort zones, develop confidence and connect with our OLSH history.
The student and staff-lead programs are offered across all areas of sport, performing arts, visual arts, public speaking, clubs and social justice.
Co-curricular Activities
The activities that students participate in beyond the classroom help to enrich their secondary school experience, through the development of new friendships and skills and the discovery of new passions and talents. We offer a wide range of co-curricular activities across all year levels and throughout the year. The level of involvement can be as brief as participation in a lunchtime activity or as extensive as membership of a sporting, performance and public speaking team.
The student and staff-lead programs are offered across all areas of sport, performing arts, visual arts, public speaking, clubs and social justice.
