Sacred Heart College Offers Partial Scholarships For 2022

by Admin · August 14, 2021

Heather Blanckensee, Head of Sacred Heart College is excited to announce the opening of the scholarship programme for students wanting to enrol for 2022.

At Sacred Heart College, we are proud of our long history and tradition of providing our students with a full learning experience that nurtures and develops their minds, their spirit and their sense of self. We educate for life and for leadership ensuring that our young people become happy, confident and competent people of hope and personal integrity.

We are situated in Observatory, which is between Yeoville, Berea and Houghton, high up on a Johannesburg ridge, between poverty and privilege. It is where the intersection of poverty and privilege takes place, where human endeavour lies and where social experiments can and do happen.

However, occupying this privileged space comes with significant responsibility. Sacred Heart College is the bridge, the connection in the South Africa of today. To continue to be successful, the school must excel at what it does. It is through this excellence that we will retain our legitimacy as leaders in the independent sector. We have a long tradition of being this educational bridge between poverty and privilege, between diversity and transformation, activism and action.

The social and economic order in South Africa and the world is changing fast. It needs this educational bridge in so many spheres of life-technology, climate change, poverty, diversity, transformation and belonging, governance, ethics, medicine, law, education and wherever there is human endeavour.

We want to continue to prepare students to be bridge builders so that they can navigate through this rapidly changing world and thrive wherever they might live, here in Africa or abroad and help others do the same.

Today, in focusing on excellence in education and in fostering an attitude of openness and generosity towards others, Sacred Heart College remains a vital, committed and active participant in the project to build a united and democratic South Africa. We are both proud and thankful that our school community reflects the full diversity of our country with our students representing many cultures and faith traditions.

In keeping with this, and to continue to ensure that we provide deserving students with access to a quality education, excellent facilities, and the opportunity to develop into the bridge builders of tomorrow, Sacred Heart College is offering a limited number of students, the opportunity to apply for a place at our school on a partial scholarship basis. These scholarships range from 15-50% of our current fees and are applicable to Grades R – 11.
