The Turner Prize and Sacred Heart
 
The Turner Prize is a contemporary art award that was set up in 1984 to celebrate new developments in contemporary art. This is the first year that it has been exhibited outside of a Tate venue. We are very privileged to have this on display in this region. The prize is awarded each year to 'a British artist under fifty for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work in the twelve months preceding'.
 
To celebrate the arrival of the Turner Prize to Gateshead, the Art Department at Sacred Heart created a cross curricular project for Year 8 students along with the English, Geography, ICT, Maths and RS departments. A group of students also went to the Baltic Art Gallery to see art works for themselves.

European Day of Languages 2011
 
For the second year in a row, Sacred Heart joined the Europe-wide festivities for the European Day of Languages. The day celebrates the diverse languages spoken across Europe and heightens awareness of the importance of foreign-language learning. Staff members revealed hidden talents as they taught lessons in languages ranging from Hebrew to Ooromifaa.
 
In addition Sacred Heart was awarded the Intermediate International School Award, run by the British Council, on the strength of its existing and on-going international work, including its many links abroad. This is an accreditation scheme for curriculum-based international work in schools which provides recognition for teachers and their schools working to instil a global dimension into the learning experience of all children and young people. It has three levels, Foundation, Intermediate and the Full Award.
