November 2014 NOVEMBER 2014 Registered by Australia Post Publication No.PP 5321/51/0003 Principal’s Report Dear Members of the Sacred Heart College Community As I write, the Class of 2014 is in their concluding week of classes.

Our strong relationship with Marymount College continues under the collaborative leadership of Principal, Ms Sara Scungio. As a previous Principal of the Middle School, I think it is very apparent that the net benefits to the students and families far outweigh the concerns. So, after 37 years as two separate schools, Sacred Heart College is poised to enter the next phase of its rich journey - Year 117 - as a Year 6 to Year 12 College comprising all boys in Years 6 to 9 and being co-educational in Years 10 to 12.

    TAC Cup Round 2 2 & 3 April 2016 $3.00 Season 2016 kicking into gear Wasn’t it great to have football back last weekend, both at AFL and TAC Cup level? While the next crop of future AFL talent was taking to the field in TAC Cup games throughout Victoria last weekend, it was a highlight of the Easter weekend to see eight draft ees debut in Round 1 of the AFL season – including 2015 Morrish Medal winner Clayton Oliver who claimed the first NAB AFL Rising Star nomination of the season aft er his 22-disposal debut for Melbourne. While the TAC Cup season started last weekend for the best U18 male talent across Victoria, last Monday saw the conclusion of a very successful Youth Girls Academy Challenge for the most promising U18 females across the state. Congratulations to the Dandenong Stingrays, who defeated the Sandringham Dragons in the finale to the month-long tournament. It is pleasing to see TAC support not only the next crop of elite U18 boys but also what will be the next crop of future female AFL footballers via the U18 Youth Girl Academies across eight regions. During the week we celebrated the launch of the Peter Jackson VFL and new VFL Women’s competition. With the launch of a national AFL women’s competition in 2017, it is exciting for AFL Victoria to launch the first VFL Women’s season this weekend. Also at the launch we looked back at the history of the TAC Cup competition, with last week signalling the beginning of its 25th season.
