Sacred Heart School offers a wide range of activities to develop the holistic growth of its students. From sports like football and basketball to performing arts like dance and music.
“Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education.”- Plato
Music can raise someone's mood, make them calm and relaxed. Music participation provides a unique opportunity for literacy preparation. Whether the children are singing, playing, or listening, teachers direct them to listen and hear in new ways which exercises their aural discrimination. Playing instruments and adding movement to the lessons teaches children about sequential learning which is essential in reading comprehension.
Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.
Sport includes all forms of competitive physical activity or games which, through casual or organized participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases, entertainment for spectators.
The Art, and Craft Education is so vital to our culture because through them, the students learn to think and act as artists, makers and designers, working creatively and intelligently.
The staff at Sacred Heart School are passionate, experienced, and committed to providing the best possible education for their students.
