Band Program

The Holy Family Band Program is an extra-curricular activity run by the Holy Family Band Parent Committee in cooperation with the school.The aim of the program is to provide musical enrichment complementary to the educational framework of the school. The program seeks to emphasise four important elements for our children: commitment, dedication, musical achievement and fun.

Sport

Here at Holy Family, we are very lucky to have great opportunities to represent our school sport at Broken Bay Diocesen, Polding and State levels. Students can be selected from our School Sport Carnivals such as swimming, cross country and athletics.    There are also Broken Bay trials that run throughout the year for numerous sports including winter trials for AFL, league, netball, hockey, soccer, touch and rugby union, and summer trials for basketball, tennis, cricket and softball.

 At Holy Family Catholic Primary School we have a special responsibility to look after the academic, social, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing of all in our care.

Holy Family is a community that provides a strong sense of wellbeing, belonging and security where students are given every opportunity to be affirmed with dignity and worth and assisted to grow to the fullness of their potential. We acknowledge the right for all members of our community to feel safe.

Holy Family Catholic Primary School was founded in the Brigidine tradition, and the values and charism that Saint Brigid promoted are embedded into our Mission and Vision Statements. Throughout the school, we have shared values which provide staff, parents and children with the language to discuss behaviour in a consistent way.

Our Brigidine values are reflected in our school rules: Respect, Responsibility and to Learn. Our commitment to these values and rules therefore means that at Holy Family every child has the right to be safe and to feel safe. In all that we do we aim to develop confidence and competence in our students and encourage a real connection to their school and their community. These strengths allow them to face life-long challenges in a positive and resilient manner.

From its humble beginning in 1927, through to today’s modern educational institution the provision of education steeped in Catholic values and traditions has been the basis for supporting teaching and learning at Holy Family.

Holy Family is a Catholic parish school that recognises each child as being unique and formed in the image of God. We are a school community where a friendly, trusting collaboration between Principal, Parish Priest, Teachers and Parents is fostered for the ongoing development of each individual.

Empowering children through leadership

Children at the Holy Family Catholic Primary School (from Kindergarten to Year Six) are taught to follow their own interests and come up with their own initiatives as part of The Leader in Me initiative.

“We want children to find their voice, find their place and see that they’ve got something to contribute,” said Lou Dogao, the Principal.

“At Kindergarten level, it might be that a child becomes the Leader of Sustainability for their classroom, taking on responsibilities such as delivering fruit break waste to the Environmental team for composting – or simply making sure the lights are turned off when they leave the classroom,” said Mr Dogao.

“The Leader in Me process is not about being number one or wearing a badge. It’s about students finding a way to be the best they can be within themselves and that really fits in with Catholic teachings.”

I look forward to welcoming you to Holy Family and invite you to take a personal school tour by contacting us on 02 9416 7200 or info@holyfamily.nsw.edu.au

Our school is ideally located for transport. There is a large carpark behind the school, we are within walking distance of Lindfield Train Station, and buses run from Killara, Gordon, Chatwood, and East Lindfield.

Why our parents love Holy Family

Mr Lou Dogao, the Principal said that parents had been very positive about the impact on their children.

“For our daughter, I know she’s benefited hugely from the better structure and routine at the school.”

“Ethics and values are embedded with academics, creating great little human beings.”

“Kids are respectful and responsible learners, and this has become the rule at home for us.”

“It’s a great, safe & nurturing school with lots of opportunities for our son to grow and shine!”

“A great little school with a big community spirit. The kids are very respectful and kind to each other and the teachers are very receptive to queries when raised.”

“Wonderful community and kind, caring teachers and great facilities.”

“By far the best school we have seen around the area. Friendly staff and my son in Kindergarten has improved on his vocabulary and mathematics so much.”
