Christmas Displays at Sacred Heart

Spellbinder

The children and staff are looking forward to the return of Spellbinder and Lady Spellbinder for their Christmas storytelling, dancing and singing. The participation and behaviour of the children was superb last year, and it was a fantastic way to start Christmas.

Spellbinder

The hugely popular and successful Spellbinder returns on 3rd December, which was one of the most memorable days of last year. I’m sure the children will be enthralled again, and I hope there isn’t too much embarrassing of our staff!

Operation Christmas Child

Thank you for your generosity for the charity Operation Christmas Child. We had a fantastic response from adults and children, and the we overwhelmed the collection point with all of the shoeboxes!
