Sacre Coeur

Overview

Sacré Cœur is an independent Catholic girls' school on Burke Road, Glen Iris, operated by the Society of the Sacred Heart and educating students from Pre-Kindergarten through to Year 12. The school sits on an elevated site on Burke Road with expansive grounds and notable heritage buildings, forming one of the more architecturally distinguished school campuses in Melbourne's inner-east. Burke Road is a major north-south corridor through the suburb, carrying tram services connecting the school community to the CBD to the north and Camberwell Junction to the south. Students and families travel from across Boroondara — from Hawthorn, Malvern, Toorak, and Camberwell — by tram, car, or on foot from nearby residential streets. The suburb of Glen Iris is characterised by large, established homes on generous allotments, with mature street canopy providing shade along Burke Road and surrounding avenues. Gardiners Creek Reserve to the east provides bushland walking, cycling, and open recreational space. Central Park on Burke Road is nearby and used for community events and weekend recreation. Malvern and Gardiner train stations serve the broader area, and trams on Malvern Road and Burke Road provide multiple route options. An academically and culturally strong institution with a long Melbourne history and a distinctive Sacred Heart identity.
