Sisterhood takes on an additional meaning this year at the Sacred Heart School in Halifax. The message at the opening assembly this week was one of relationships and opportunity. We talked of the dedication of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat and the three other young women who consecrated themselves to “make known the revelation of God’s love” and who set out to give young women access to a classical education. We celebrated a history of women who are strong, who believe in education for all, and who act with conviction. The students were encouraged to engage in the wealth of co-curricular opportunities provided at the school and to consider opportunities to serve others. Shannon Jankari, Head Girl, spoke eloquently of the gifts of friendship and sisterhood that come with an education at Sacred Heart Girls’ High School and her words ignited a spirit of camaraderie for the year ahead. Our four student leaders have a new theme for the year: '4 the Good of the Sisterhood'.
