"For the sake of one child"

In this centenary year of the canonisation of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat, we are delighted to launch the RSCJ Scholarship Fund, with this year’s Giving Week raising funds for a new Sister Elizabeth Snedden Scholarship.

“For the sake of one child”, Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat founded the Society of the Sacred Heart. These words continue to reflect the mission and educational philosophy of the Religious of the Sacred Heart (RSCJ) - that every student should be educated to reach their unique potential; empowered, confident, and with a sense of social responsibility - regardless of their financial circumstances.

The Sister Elizabeth Snedden Scholarship

Sister Elizabeth Snedden RSCJ has made an immense contribution to Baradene as an alumna, teacher, and long-serving trustee on the Baradene School Board, as well as director of Baradene College Limited. 

This scholarship is for a purpose close to Sister Elizabeth’s heart - to provide financial assistance to students in our community who would otherwise be unable to attend Baradene or to fully participate in school life while enrolled at Baradene, giving them every opportunity to benefit from a Baradene education.  

Please help us make a difference to a child's future

Our students are incredibly fortunate. A Baradene education equips students to meet the challenges of our rapidly changing world and to succeed as global citizens. 

Our 2025 Giving Week is an opportunity for our community to continue the legacy of the RSCJ and make a difference to a child's future. 

More details of our 2025 Baradene Giving Week to come.
