Pride Week in Sacred Heart.. 10th of May- 14th of May week

Pride is a fantastic and colourful celebration of the sexual diversity of people living in an area. And while it is the festival of the LGBT+ community, it’s a wonderful time for people from all backgrounds to join together and celebrate sexual diversity and support their LGBT+ friends and colleagues.

Th Student Council hope that by organising this event in Sacred Heart , the student body will be given the opportunity to celebrate diversity within, and outside the school community.
