Catholic education has been offered at Sacred Heart for many generations, with the first school being run by the Sisters of St Joseph 100 years ago.
The present school site at The Parade, Yea, was opened in 1957.
Sacred Heart is situated on 4.5 acres of scenic countryside.
The students come from diverse backgrounds and some travel considerable distances to attend school.
Sacred Heart is a school which operates with the consent of the Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne and is operated and governed by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Ltd (MACS).
MACS governs and operates 292 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese to continue the mission of Catholic education to proclaim the Good News and equip our young people with the knowledge, skills and hope to live meaningful lives and enrich the world around them.
Because the good work of educating the young is a co-responsible task led by every member of the Catholic school community, School Advisory Councils have been established to provide a crucial point of connection between the wider school community and school leaders.
This governance model was designed to ease the administrative burden on our schools and parishes, allow parish priests to focus on the mission of education in the parish, enable greater collaboration between schools and ensure greater consistency in school policies and procedures.
