Principal's Message

Dear Holy Family Parents and Carers,

Welcome Back

I hope this newsletter finds you in good health and high spirits. As we step into the fourth term of this academic year, it brings me great joy to welcome each and every one of you back to Holy Family.

I trust that the break has provided you with an opportunity to recharge, explore new interests, and spend quality time with loved ones. Now, we embark on a fresh chapter filled with exciting opportunities for learning, growth, and achievement.

Term 4 is a time for us to reflect on our accomplishments thus far and set new goals for the remainder of the year. As we venture into a new term, let us approach each day with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a determination to make the most of every opportunity that comes our way.

Zing Activ Interschools Challenge

At Holy Family, we believe passionately in the role of the Creative and Performing Arts in the education of every student. With almost 1000 Catholic and Public school performers, some of our amazing students, “Let Their Light Shine” as dancers in Zing Activ Interschools Dance performance at the end of Term 3.

Several members of staff and I had the privilege of attending this amazing spectacular at Homebush. The night was absolutely brilliant and such a wonderful opportunity for all students and teachers. By all accounts our students showed exemplary behaviour and outstanding participation during the challenge.

A very sincere and special thank you to our students, staff and Lily, the Zing Activ dance teacher. We are all so extremely proud of you. A huge “Thank You” to the parents who gave their permission for their children to participate in the challenge and for staying up so late to attend the challenge.

Kindergarten 2024 Orientation

We are getting very excited to welcome our 2024 Kindergarten students onto our school grounds for their face-to-face Kindergarten Orientation in the coming weeks. It will be wonderful to see lots of smiling faces, ready in anticipation for what is ahead. The children will experience a morning full of fun activities, meet their teacher and make new friends. Our Year 5 students can hardly wait to meet their buddies.
