Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
SPARK
Four senior students from our school took part in the SPARK (Supporting Potential Among Remarkable Kids) program at OLPS West Pymble last Friday, collaborating with peers from four other CSBB Catholic primary schools. Utilizing cutting-edge Virtual Reality software and headsets, they created immersive experiences showcasing Holy Family School, highlighting their favourite spaces and providing insight into a typical school day. These innovative videos will be shared with a school in Uluru, fostering a unique connection between our communities. It was an enriching and inspiring experience for all involved!
Celebrating Growth in Literacy and Mathematics
At Holy Family, we are committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. This term, our students have been deeply engaged in Literacy and Mathematics, developing essential skills that will support their lifelong learning journey.
Our commitment to school improvement is evident through targeted interventions, collaborative teaching strategies, and the integration of technology to enhance learning. Teachers are continually refining their instructional approaches to ensure every student is supported and challenged at their level. We are incredibly proud of the dedication and enthusiasm our students display in their learning. Thank you for your ongoing support in fostering a love of Literacy and Mathematics at home.
Enrolments for 2026
If you know families with children ready to begin school next year, we encourage you to recommend Holy Family. Enrolment interviews are already underway, with prospective parents sharing wonderful feedback about our warm and inclusive community. They have been particularly impressed by the respectful manners of our students and the confident, passionate way our senior students lead school tours. Families interested in joining our Holy Family community can arrange a private tour, collect an enrolment pack from the school, or enquire online via the link on our website.
