The Sacred Heart school song was selected through a competition. All staff and students could enter. They needed to create lyrics for the school's tune.

School Pride IN

SONG

Sacred Heart is the sum of all those who are in it

And those who've passed through the world's eager strife

You're part of the school from the time you begin it

You're part of the school for the rest of your life

Years may go by our fond hearts will cling to thee

Time goes forever but memory remains

School of our youthful days, help and joy it gives to me

Heart will beat faster to these stirring strains

Now whether your faith brings misfortune or honour

The school stands to rise or to fall by its name

By honest endeavor we pray to our father

The true claims to greatness, the title to fame

Janine Bentley, 10 Red

Brown, red and white are the colours we wear

Yellow, red, blue and green are the colours of our teams

For the other students we must care

Always striving upwards is our team

For a Christ centered community is

What we are trying to achieve,

So that when we leave

Our hearts will be full of peace and love

Full of spirit, light and carefree like a dove

The Sacred Heart of Jesus is special to us because,

He is the light of the world

And we know that his love for us

Ever was and forever will be

Angela Calandra, 8 Blue

Sing out proudly of our school

Sacred Heart's our guide

Do your best, be joyful too

Goodness is a prize

Present, past, and future all

Moudled into one,

Hearts respond with full accord

to goals both lost and won.

"Semper Superne Nitens",

Always upwards strive,

Knowledge and virture,

'Neath the red and white

Cheer the skills that bring reward,
