Community News
Holy Name has enjoyed an extremely positive start to the school year, celebrating a very healthy growth in enrolment taking us to two streams of Prep students as well as enrolling new students in all year levels. We have commenced 2021 with an overall enrolment of one hundred and eighty-nine students. This growth is indictive of how highly our parent community rate the learning environment and school culture thiat is uniquely Holy Name.
We have hosted two very successful school events to begin the school year: The Parent Information session in each classroom was extremely well attended with all parents and carers being very respectful of the changed requirements of having limited adults attending events and functions. We celebrated our first Mass for the year with Fr Darrell, the Yr 6 families, students, and staff of Holy Name. Our Yr 6 leaders were inducted into their leadership roles, receiving God’s richest blessings for their leadership year. Our students have been active, competing at the Catholic Schools Swimming Carnival, representing Holy Name with pride and enthusiasm. It promises to be a busy, engaging and productive year of learning.

Year 6 Leaders in 2021
PARENTS AND FRIENDS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The AGM of our P&F is on Tuesday, March 9 at 5:30pm in our School Library. All enrolled families are automatically members of the P&F Association of Holy Name School. It is a great experience to become involved in the P&F as you learn more about how the school operates and you become more involved in your child’s learning. All families are invited to attend the AGM. A nomination form for the executive positions, President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer is available at the front office. I encourage all parents and carers to consider taking on an executive position. It is a very rewarding with many benefits for self and gives the opportunity to experience service to others.
