Sacred Heart College is an independent Catholic secondary school, located in the Adelaide beachside suburb of Somerton Park, South Australia and in the suburb of Mitchell Park, in South Australia, Australia. Focused on teaching in the Marist Brothers tradition, the school enrols students from Years 10 to 12.^{[citation needed]}

Sacred Heart is known for its Australian rules football teams, cultivating thorough athletes since its establishment. It has an annual Intercollegiate match against its cross-town rival, Rostrevor College, which is a notable event in the South Australian Catholic Schools sports calendar.^{[citation needed]}

The school also has an annual exchange with Assumption College in Kilmore, Victoria, which entails music and performing arts performances, debating, social and several sporting competitions.^{[citation needed]}

Campus

The college is situated on three grounds in the suburb of Somerton Park on Brighton Road, 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) west of the Adelaide city centre.

Central to the college is "Paringa Hall", named to recognise the Cudmore family's^[who?] first largest sheep station in the Riverland.^{[citation needed]} Paringa Hall has been defined^[who?] as one of South Australia's most outstanding late 19th-century family homes remaining upstanding.^{[citation needed]} Designed by Edmund William Wright, a previous Mayor of Adelaide and a notable architect, engineer and businessman, who is also noted for designing the Adelaide Town Hall and Parliament House, Adelaide, the building's opulence speaks of great wealth.^[2]

Prior to 2017, the college had ten houses:^{[citation needed]}
