OUR SCHOOL        

At Sacred Heart Tocumwal, students are the focus.

​Sacred Heart offers many and varied opportunities for the students at our school to become the best they can be. In developing its learning and teaching program, Sacred Heart follows documentation from the NSW Board of Studies and the Diocese of Wagga Wagga. Teachers apply sound and up-to-date knowledge of curriculum areas and learning and teaching practices to facilitate successful student learning. Teachers assess, record and report student achievement and performance to encourage and assist student learning. At Sacred Heart we have students who care for one another, who are helpful, polite and strive for personal excellence.

​At Sacred Heart Primary, Tocumwal we aim to support the parents and guardians by providing a quality education where the development of the whole child is central. 

In doing this our aim will be:

• To realise and promote each individual child’s gifts and talents.
• To provide a supportive and caring environment where your child is nurtured and challenged.
• To help your child to be a confident and active member of the school and wider community.
• To instill in your child a love of learning.
