Holy Family is a welcoming, caring community of learning that embraces holistically its Catholic Ethos with a commitment to excellence in learning, pastoral care, faith formation, ecology, building community capacity and social justice. The changing nature of the school grounds with the emphasis on growing natural foods reflects our action on ecology. Holy Family continues to value our diversity as a great strength, having 32 different ethnic and cultural groups in the school. Approximately 48% of the enrolment meet the ESL criteria. The school is known for its contemporary approach to learning, including the innovative use of ICTs such as Laptop computers to facilitate engagement by all members in our learning community. Holy Family, in partnership with Bristol University and guided by the new Australian Curriculum is investigating the specific capabilities which enable students to be successful lifelong learners. The school promotes capabilities of Literacy, Numeracy, Use of ICTs, Creativity, Teamwork, Ethical Behaviour, Thinking Skills, Social Competence, Intercultural Understanding and Self-Management. The school is embracing vertically grouped learning with the establishment of three Houses of Learning, each comprising ten classes ranging from Reception to Year 7. The school enrolment has increased to the current ceiling of 830 students. We are in the process of replacing 35 transportable learning areas with permanent purpose-built facilities.
