History:
Sacred Heart School began in 1993 as an amalgamation of St Edmund’s School, Croydon, and St Francis De Sales School, East Ringwood. It was established as part of a new parish – Sacred Heart, Croydon – sited at the former Monastery of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.
Sacred Heart's administration and staff amenities have been housed in new facilities during 2012, while the school itself consists of a seven new learning areas and seven relocatable classrooms, all linked by covered decking, adjacent to the monastery. A two-storey relocatable building was brought to the site in 1996 and was refurbished for use by the school and parish in 1998. This building, known as ‘the Whitehouse’ accommodated the music room as well as the performing arts. The school completed a major building project in 2011 which provided a multi-purpose hall and ancillary spaces. This $2.5 million building was funded by the Australian Government's BER grant.
