Principal's Message

Dear Holy Family Parents and Carers,

Kindergarten 2024 Parent Evening and Welcome Parish Mass

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming many new parents to Holy Family at the Kindergarten Orientation meeting. Our parish school community was well represented with Father Colin, Olwyn Connolly, Jean Shatek, Anne Gray, Kindy teachers and the school leadership team providing essential information, establishing important connections, and setting the foundation for a positive and collaborative relationship between parents, teachers, and the school community.

The parish have kindly extended their welcome to the new families at the Welcome Mass this Sunday. We are looking forward to welcoming our newest and youngest members to Holy Family. Please continue to keep these children and their family in your prayers as they commence this very important educational journey with their little ones.
