Holy Child Parish encompasses Coolaroo, Meadow Heights, Dallas, Upfield, Campbellfield and parts of Broadmeadows. The school was opened in 1965 by the Josephite Sisters, who planted deep seeds of pastoral care and community involvement which are the hallmark of the Holy Child community and evident today in our Mary MacKillop group. The strong links between school, parish and the wider community continues to make Holy Child a special place, where we nurture and care for each individual within this community. We have always catered for a culturally diverse community, with our students originating from numerous countries - notably from Iraq and Vietnam. Central to our mission as a Catholic school is providing opportunities for all in our community to develop faith through participation in religious experiences, prayer (both personal and community) and active engagement in liturgy. We will continue to meet the spiritual, academic, emotional, creative, physical and social needs of our children to the best of our ability.
