VALE CLASS OF 2014 They also took advantage of the Global Exchange Program, enabling them to be immersed in other schools and cultures around the world, to enhance their own study of languages and to see how other Sacred Heart Schools live out the same goals as KRB. They participated in the cultural diversity of KRB with great enthusiasm, when they organised a special assembly and a variety of food stalls from all over the world.

Mrs Johnston-Croke cited many examples of the commitment the Class showed to "having a go and getting involved, especially on the sporting field." A number of the students were members of teams who were premiers in netball, hockey, touch football and water polo and they achieved significant results in swimming and athletics. Mrs Johnston-Croke commented on the important role that parents had played in the lives of their daughters while at school: "You have encouraged and supported your daughters, allowing them to follow their passions and commitments.

For many of you, your journey with KRB is coming to an end. You have given your daughters the great gift of a Sacred Heart education and I believe each one of these students, in her own way, has taken advantage of this opportunity. Thank you most sincerely for your support and confidence in all that we do here at KRB."
