Our Values


These values are underpinned, enhanced, and enriched by all of our Gospel Values 

and the Māori values of manaakitanga and whanaungatanga.

Our HEART acronym was launched in 2021 to highlight a number of important values we are guided by as a Kura. These values were identified by our staff and student council and then brought to life by one of our talented students, Isabel Harris, who won our competition to design an image for the HEART acronym. 

In 2024, the HEART acronym image was reimagined by another talented student, Anna McIvor, who was the winner of our re-design competition.​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​
The purpose of this acronym is to provide a simple tool to encourage us all at Sacred Heart College to have these values front and centre of everything we do.

It also provides an avenue to share our core values with the community and any visitors to our site.

"Have confidence in God, be humble, love prayer and be very kind."
