Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College marks 75 years of girls’ education in 2026, a milestone that reflects the enduring legacy of the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. Founded in Enfield, SA in 1951, the College’s conviction that every girl deserves to be known, supported and equipped for a purposeful life has remained unchanged.
The community the College has over the decades is one of its most defining characteristics. Students come from 49 cultural backgrounds, and social cohesion, mutual respect and a genuine sense of belonging are embedded in daily school life. Diversity is most visible during Multicultural Day but present throughout the year in how students learn alongside one another.
A scholarship program covering academic achievement, the arts, music, parish engagement and financial hardship ensure the College remains accessible to families from all circumstances. Co-curricular life reflects the same inclusive spirit. Student-led initiatives such as the Ukulele Group, Tour Guides Off Campus and the Pod Squad sit alongside sport, performing arts and community service, giving girls genuine ownership over their school experience.
Forming the whole student sits at the centre of the College’s educational philosophy. Pastoral care is structured across three developmental stages, each calibrated to the needs of that age group. In Years 7 and 8, students build self, developing resilience, independence and a sense of belonging. In Years 9 and 10, the focus moves to strengths and purpose, with students setting goals and building skills for their future pathways while in Years 11 and 12, students deepen connections and develop the confidence to lead. Student Wellbeing Coordinators, counsellors and a Learning Diversity, Inclusion and Equity teamwork alongside teachers and families at every stage, ensuring support is personalised and proactive.
Investing in teaching quality and learning environments has been the College’s central strategic focus over the past year. The Teach Well framework brings an evidence-based approach to instructional practice, ensuring consistent, high-quality learning across all year levels, supported by ongoing professional development and coaching. The College’s Masterplan complements both by reimagining physical learning environments, creating collaborative and inquiry-based spaces that bring the same educational values into the design of the school itself.
Technology is embedded across the curriculum to deepen inquiry-based learning. Students develop computational thinking through coding programs like Python and GameMaker, progressing from consumers of technology to confident creators. The STILE platform supports science learning through simulations and real-time feedback, while Virtual Reality gives students access to environments and concepts otherwise out of reach. Guided use of Microsoft Copilot develops personalised learning and higher-order thinking alongside the ethical digital citizenship students carry into their futures.
The College’s four Pillars of OLSH Education, centred on reverence for relationships, touching the hearts of others, faith and the pursuit of excellence, have shaped school life since 1951. As the College enters its next chapter, those pillars remain the foundation on which each new generation of OLSH women is formed, graduating curious, compassionate and confident to lead in whatever field they choose.
