Christmas is Coming at Sacred Heart!

At Sacred Heart, preparations for Christmas have already begun. Classrooms are adorned with tinsel and lights. Small fir trees with baubles are in different rooms. The RE Department’s Advent display is in pride of place in the main social area: an evergreen wreath with four candles representing hope, faith, joy, and peace.

December is a busy month at school with various events on the calendar. Transition Year students are especially busy with their production of ‘Romeo and Juliet’, the annual Trade Fair, and Friendship Week. The Student Council are organising a Christmas Jumper Day in aid of St Vincent de Paul. The first years are taking part in a Kindness Challenge, inspired by the values of Advent. Ms Bell and the school journalists are compiling a video of staff and students dancing to Mariah Carey’s smash hit, ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’. This fun-filled recording will be broadcast on the school Instagram (@shssclonakilty) and will be a novel way to wish parents and students a safe and happy Christmas.

We at Sacred Heart look forward to 2021 and a new beginning. We pray for joy, peace and love in the coming year.

Nollaig Shona Daoibh!
