Subject Offerings
All schools in Western Australia are required to teach according to the outcomes set out in the mandated Curriculum Handbook.
The Currriculum Framework sets out a series of outcomes that describe the knowledge, understandings, skills, values and attitudes that students are expected to acquire through their schooling from K-12. These outcomes are divided into eight Learning Areas with 13 overarching statements.
Religious Education is an integral part of the curriculum at Sacred Heart College and is studied by all students. Opportunities to celebrate the Eucharist, Stations of the Cross and retreats are incorporated into the Religious Education program at times throughout the year. In WA Catholic schools, the Church as a ninth Learning Area has mandated Religious Education.
The Curriculum is balanced to develop the Spiritual, Academic, Cultural and Sporting potential of students. It also prepares them for living in an increasingly technological and changing society.
The fundamental role of Curriculum is to promote:
- A love of learning
- Lifelong learning
- Excellence in learning
Curriculum Handbooks
Specific details regarding the Curriculum for Years 7 to Year 12, together with co-curricular opportunities, are provided in the individual Handbooks.
