Don’t Sit Get Fit Campaign

The ‘Don’t Sit Get Fit Campaign’ was launched this week by Ms Mayock.  The aim of this new initiative is to get students to be more active in their daily routines and to promoting an active lifestyle and not a focus on competition or sport. We want it to become ‘routine’ and something that becomes a weekly thing for the students.  

What does it involve?

1. One lunch time a week for 30 mins in the gym/astro pitch:

-walking around the gym/astro depending on the weather

- weights will be available and music.

-ATTENDANCE SHEET WILL BE COMPLETED EACH WEEK.

2. During SPHE classes: walks/exercise routines every few classes

3. Every TUESDAY after school for 45mins: all level fitness and exercise class, fun with music, all welcome

The following are the time for each year group=

-1st years= Monday lunch 1-1.30

-2nd years= Tuesday lunch 1-1.30

-3rd years= Wednesday lunch 1-1.30

Highest Achieving Student in Applied Leaving Certificate 2016

Sacred Heart has been represented at ‘The Fergal Quinn Awards’ every year since 2011. Indeed Sacred Heart was the first school to have had three students receive this award in the same year.  This is a testament to the high standard of the programme in Sacred Heart and to the commitment and dedication of the Applied Leaving Certificate teachers.   Kate was just one of 5 students to receive this prestigious award at the award ceremony. She was accompanied by her mother Mary her dad Kieran and her cousin Amanda. The Applied Leaving Certificate coordinator Liz O’Sullivan and Principal Ann Marie Brosnan also attend the event.  

 Well done to Kate on this outstanding achievement.   Thank you to  all her teachers and in particular Mrs O’Sullivan the Applied Leaving Certificate Coordinator.
