At Sacré Coeur, we believe student agency is integral to learning. It occurs when students are known, exercise choice, enjoy responsibility and contribute to the progression of their learning.

Experts suggest that a strong sense of autonomy is the key to developing healthy self motivation, allowing students to pursue their goals and enjoy their achievements. Sacré Coeur provides authentic choices to students focusing on developing skills for their future.

The engagement of students is dependent on learning, enabling students to explore their world and its possibilities. Opportunities at Sacré Coeur include, for example, forensic science, financial literacy and aviation. Their journey of discovery is what matters and we believe this includes allowing them the space to fail. This needs to be coupled with developing skills such as problem solving, creativity, critical thinking and collaboration.

Tenacity and resilience is explicitly taught and lived at Sacré Coeur, where students know that their voice matters and that they have a role in determining their future.
