Principal's Message
Dear Holy Family Parents and Carers,
Good Luck Jonathan and Oisin
At the end of last year, Jonathan Smirniotis qualified to compete in the World Championships in Irish Dance. The competition is being held in Glasgow and it will be an amazing experience for him. Oisin Connolly (former Holy Family student) has also qualified to compete. This will be a wonderful opportunity for the boys. We wish you both all the very best and look forward to hearing all about the competition.
NAPLAN
On behalf of the school community, my warmest wishes to our Year 3 and Year 5 students as they embark upon their NAPLAN tests over the coming days. Please remember, these tests are just one measure of the students' abilities. What truly matters is the effort that is put into their daily learning and the growth that is demonstrated along the way.
To our Year 3 and Year 5 students
Stay calm, stay focused, and do your best. Believe in yourselves, for you are capable of achieving amazing things.
To our supportive parents,
Your encouragement and support are invaluable to the students' success. Thank you for being a pillar of strength for your children as they navigate through these assessments.
Sacrament of Reconciliation
A huge congratulations to the children who recently received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. This is a significant milestone in your faith journey. It marks a time of reflection, forgiveness, and renewal as you deepen your relationship with God.
As a school community, let us continue to keep these children in our prayers and offer them encouragement as they continue to grow in their faith.
God Bless you and your families
Pauline Dinale
