Testimonials
Our history
Holy Family Primary was established in 2004. Our state-of-the-art school complex was designed by Fulton, Trotter and Partners Architects and completed in 2010.
The concept and design of the school came about through extensive community consultation by school leadership, Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese, and ‘Fulton, Trotter & Partners Architects'.
The building design has strong connections to country. The Indigenous concept is clearly visible upon entry, with winding paths and curved walls, in which to take advantage of natural light and link all who work and learn at the school seamlessly back to mother earth, something that has been permeated and repeated throughout the classroom spaces.
The colour scheme of the school and brick chosen also brings in the earthy tones of the country, accentuating, and connecting people back to 'place'. You will notice that some of our buildings, including the Hall and Library, carry Indigenous names paying respect to elders, past present and emerging of the Darug nation in which we serve.
Approaching the end of our second decade, our school has a strong connection with Holy Family Parish and is proud to provide quality Catholic education to 12 suburbs in the Mount Druitt area.
