Curriculum: Sacré Cœur’s curriculum is contemporary while drawing on its heritage of educating the whole student. All learning is based around four key pillars, connection, agency, mastery and authenticity, and students are provided with a wide variety of learning experiences (Prep to Year 12) that are age and stage appropriate. All students experience a curriculum that is differentiated with their individual learning styles considered. A wide variety of subjects is on offer with the opportunity for student choice (agency) occurring from Year 8. All students in the junior school (Joigny) and Years 7 and 8 learn to master coding, through the Digital Technologies curriculum and there is an emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) at Year 8 and in Year 9 through the special ‘Notre Monde’ (our world) program. Music, drama and languages (French, Japanese and Latin) are cornerstones of learning, both in the classroom, and through co-curricular opportunities at all levels. Running alongside the academic offerings is a wellbeing curriculum that supports students in their learning journey.
Sport: A wide range of sports is offered. The school is also a member of Girls Sport Victoria.
Student welfare programs: Student welfare programs are extensive. A Director of Student Wellbeing, Careers Advisor and three psychologists/counsellors support the school’s pastoral programs.
