Sacred Heart Schools Network

Our Coordinator

The Network Co-ordinator supports the delivery of the Network’s mission to promote the ethos and values of Sacred Heart Education in the schools of the Network. This is achieved by promoting inter-school cooperation in implementing the Five Goals through regular meetings of Heads, Deputies and Goals Coordinators, induction of new staff and ongoing formation of staff in the spirit of Sacred Heart education. The Co-ordinator maintains connections and relationships with members of the international RSCJ family and engages with the apostolic priorities of the Society.

Noreen Heenan
With a strong track record of teaching and leadership in a Sacred Heart school, Noreen has led the Sacred Heart Network in implementing the Philosophy of Sacred Heart Education since 2021.
Previous experience as a member of the Network Board, allied to her belief in the value of our message enshrined in the Sacred Heart Goals, means that Noreen is a guiding and inspiring caretaker of our mission.
She is responsible for co-ordinating ethos development across the schools of the Ireland, Scotland, Malta Network. Further links with the England and Wales Network and with the European schools provide opportunities to deepen the experience of Sacred Heart educators. Noreen also acts as Secretary to the Coreteam of the European Network of Schools.
Through collaboration with members of the Society of the Sacred Heart, workshops and seminars with staff groups, and conferences of Headteachers, Goals Co-ordinators and Chaplains, Noreen finds herself building connections and sustaining a positive and proactive approach to our ethos.
Fostering a shared understanding of the Sacred Heart ethos message provides opportunities for all Sacred Heart students to develop and grow in confidence, faith and joy. Noreen welcomes every opportunity to hear from all who are interested in our Sacred Heart story.
