ACT ENROLMENT PERIOD
Parents enrolling their children in a Catholic school in the ACT for the following year are asked to complete an official enrolment form before the end of May. Applications received after the due date can only be considered if vacancies still exist.

Little Hearts Playgroup
Our playgroup is currently fully booked. Completing an enrolment form will place you on the waiting list.
Little Hearts Playgroup is a supported playgroup run by Sacred Heart Primary School during school terms. Playgroup is held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9.00-11.00am. Playgroup is facilitated by our fabulous staff. Numbers are limited to 20 children and enrolment is essential.
Due to the popularity of Little Hearts Playgroup, we will be giving priority to families who live within our school catchment area, Isaacs, Mawson, Farrer, Torrens, Pearce, and Chifley, and limiting attendance to one session per family, per week. This will not affect families who live out of these areas with children currently enrolled at Sacred Heart or who have been enrolled in playgroup prior to 2025. You do not need to be Catholic to attend, but simply support out faith-based ethos.
The educational program is designed for 2-4-year-old children with the support of their parent or carer. Little Hearts Playgroup offers an educational program that provides children with the opportunity to grow and learn alongside their parents and care givers. Please read our Little Hearts Playgroup Brochure Click here or contact the school office for more information.
Through a diverse range of educational activities children will:
- explore and make discoveries
- practice their fine and gross motor skills
- develop the social and emotional skills needed for school
- develop the foundations of literacy and numeracy
- have fun while they learn
