Mission Colleges Lower Hutt Trust Board (MCLHTB) is the Proprietor of Sacred Heart College.  

The College was established in 1912 by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions (RNDM).  On 25 September 1992, RNDM transferred the ownership of the land and buildings comprising the College to the MCLHTB, which became the College's Proprietor from that date.  

As Proprietor, the MCLHTB's role is twofold:

• MCLHTB has the responsibility to supervise special Catholic character education provided by the College, and to determine what is necessary to preserve and safeguard that special Catholic character.
• MCLHTB has the responsibility to provide and maintain the land and buildings enabling the College to fully operate as a State integrated secondary school.

Proprietor's Donations

For 2026, the total annual Proprietor's Donation will be $300 per student 

To simplify our donation structure, the Proprietor’s Family Donation and the Proprietor’s Property Donation will be combined from the start of 2026, into a single annual amount of $300.00 per student. This change is administrative only and, on average, does not increase the overall contribution.  

The combined donation continues to support, maintain and upgrade Sacred Heart College's existing buildings.  Please note, the Proprietor's Donation qualifies for income tax rebates. 

The College land and buildings are owned by the Mission Colleges Lower Hutt Trust Board (MCLHTB),  the Proprietor of Sacred Heart College, a Board set up by the Mission Sisters who established the College over 100 years ago with the purpose to maintain and upgrade buildings at the College.

Over the past two years,  the MCLHTB has spent approx $3m on maintaining and upgrading the College buildings. This has included the seismic strengthening of the old library and laboratory block as well as converting the old library into two new art rooms and contributing to the cost of constructing a new Mission House.
