At Holy Family, we aim to cater for all students’ strengths and interests, and bring out the best in each individual. This is done in many areas and with a variety of learning experiences.

As outlined in our school’s mission statement, we endeavour to maximise learning growth and academic potential by personalising learning that aims to fulfil the diverse capabilities of the students in our care.

Through collaborative practices with parents/carers and support staff, teachers provide engaging learning experiences to improve educational outcomes for all students.

We offer additional support for students, including:
