Principal’s Message
History
The origin of Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School Mosman was not in the education systems or buildings, but in the deep desire of parents to have their children educated and formed in faith as well as academic subjects.
The school is part of a rich historical tradition that is ongoing.
- 1900: Sisters of Mercy build St Bridget’s School, a school for girls from Kindergarten to Year 9.
- 1922: Arrival of Marist Brothers and the construction of a new school on present site.
- 1983: Marist Sacred Heart Mosman commenced with over 300 pupils, 11 lay teachers and Br Crispin as first principal.
- 1993: The final Marist Brother, Brother Peter O’Driscoll, retired as principal.
- 1998: A major parish building project began under Monsignor Eugene Harley.
- 2000: A new Sacred Heart School built on the site, blessed and opened on June 25.
- 2005: The former Marist Brothers school is demolished.
- 2009: Sacred Heart benefits from the Federal Government’s Building the Education Revolution (BER) with a new hall and library, the latter built as part of the generosity of the Sacred Heart Parish donating the office space in the building. Both spaces were officially opened in October 2011.
- 2016: Saw a further upgrade of the hall into a much more comfortably appointed facility, providing three air-conditioned and carpeted flexible, multi-purpose learning environments.
The present parish priest at Sacred Heart Mosman is Fr Phil Linder, who was educated at Marist Brothers Primary and High School in Mosman and brings much of this experience, memories and shared history to our school.
