At Sacred Heart we are committed to providing a high-quality education for our students by focusing on English, Mathematics, Religious Education and a vibrant specialist curriculum including STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths), Italian, Music, Art, Physical Education and Library. In 2025 our teaching and learning program was enhanced by the implementation of Magnify Sandhurst which provides a uniform approach for the 51 schools within the Sandhurst diocese.
Magnify Sandhurst combines evidence-based practices in teaching and learning to support each student’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. The Magnify program focuses on strengthening core areas like literacy and numeracy, building supportive classroom environments, and integrating Catholic values in daily learning. We are committed to improving outcomes and providing a program where every student can flourish, inspired by the mantra, “Every Student, Every Teacher, Every School, Every Day!”
Magnify Sandhurst aims to enhance learning outcomes through:
Structured and Evidence-based Learning: Using the latest neuroscience and a structured, knowledge-rich curriculum, we ensure students build deep understanding. A low-variance curriculum provides students with a consistent learning experience and reduces the amount of preparation and planning required by teachers, allowing teachers to focus on individual student needs.
Magnifying Literacy and Numeracy: Providing targeted support and resources to improve reading, writing, and math skills at all levels.
Calm Classrooms and Positive Learning Environments: Promoting calm, supportive, and positive learning environments through common practices, expectations, and social norms.
