School Calendar

From Your Principal

Dear Families, 

On behalf of Mrs Manthey and myself, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support during term 3 and express my gratitude to everyone that has contributed to a great term of learning at Holy Name. Thank you also to the Father’s and family members who joined us at the Father’s day breakfast and assembly. It was a wonderful morning and a real pleasure to see the interactions between children and adults. Whether it was throwing a frisbee, kicking a ball or sharing something to eat. Many thanks to the P&F association, for putting on this morning for our community. 

Uniforms 

Spring is well and truly with us. A reminder that when student’s return after the school holidays, they will be wearing their summer uniform. To ensure that all student’s are wearing the correct uniform, please follow the link to the Uniform Policy which can be found on the school website.

Planning has begun for the staffing of Holy Name in 2024. We currently have a ‘wait list’ for the prep class next year. If you have any family/friends wishing to enrol at Holy Name, please encourage them to call the school office or enrol through the school website.

Holy Name School Prayer

As part of our 2023 Annual Action Plan, we have been reviewing our current school prayer to reflect the Characteristics of a Recontextualised Catholic Prayer. Put simply, rewording our Holy Name School Prayer to be reflective of our Catholic tradition in a contemporary world whilst referencing the school charism and mission. We are now seeking feedback from our Holy Name community on our draft Holy Name School Prayer. Please take the time to read our draft school prayer, click on the below and complete the very short survey. We value your feedback.

Holy Name School Prayer

In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Merciful God,

You show us that love finds a way forward.

As we walk in the footsteps of Jesus, teach us to show compassion and hospitality to all, to seek justice, and strive for excellence in our learning and all that we do.

May we continue to grow in our Catholic faith and be the light to show your love to the world.

We ask this through our loving God.

Amen.

In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
