Christ The Teacher Catholic Schools

As a Catholic school, we try to see the student in his/her total wholeness.  God has revealed to us, though Jesus Christ, His son, how we are to live and how we are to love one another.  It is our hope that teachers and students strive to relate Christian values to all school subjects and apply these values to everyday life.

When you register at Sacred Heart High School, you are accepting certain obligations:

Each student must strive to create a Christian Community within the school. All students are required to complete a Christian Ethics course for each year of attendance at Sacred Heart. Students are required to attend and participate in all liturgical celebrations and retreats.

Christian Ethics

The responsibility of making Sacred Heart a Catholic school falls on the shoulders of the entire school community.  Every staff member attempts to provide leadership and example in expressing our faith.

Our faith is encouraged and nourished in a variety of spiritual exercises.  They include daily prayer at the start of the day, prayer  to start Christian Ethics courses, service projects, social justice work, Liturgical Celebrations, celebration of Reconciliation and school retreats.

The study of our Faith is nurtured at each grade level under the direction of the Religion Co-ordinators and Christian Ethics teachers.  The grade nine course focuses on the Beatitudes and how we can practice our Christian Faith.  Grade ten studies the life and teachings of Jesus.  Grade eleven explores the area of Christian morality and grade twelve studies what it means to live a Christian lifestyle.

Students of all religious faiths are welcome to join the Sacred Heart Family provided they accept the fact that we are concerned with Christian formation.  Our students must view the Christian Ethics courses, Liturgical Celebrations, and retreat experiences as an integral part of their program and pursue them with the same diligence as any other course.

Chapel

One way to grow in faith is to pray.  The chapel is a haven of silence and peace.  Students and staff are welcome to use the chapel to pray in the presence of the Lord.

Parish Involvement

Students at Sacred Heart are encouraged to take an active role in their home parishes.  This includes regular attendance at weekend liturgies and participating in the variety of ministry opportunities offered through the parish.

The School Crest

The Sacred Heart Crest is a symbol of the spirit and goals of Sacred Heart High School.  Sacred Heart is a community united in faith, searching for knowledge, and striving for wholeness in unity and love.  The three colours which make up the crest are significant in what they represent.  Green is the symbol of faith.  We need faith to endure the ups and downs of school life; faith to grow so that we can give the world our truth, forgiveness, and love, as Jesus did.  Gold is the symbol of knowledge.  We are here to develop our talents through study and participation in various school organizations and activities.  White symbolizes unity.

Faith, knowledge, and unity merge into one to portray the aim and spirit of Sacred Heart High School.
