About our school
Holy Family Catholic Primary School, located in Karama’s northern suburbs, provides a supportive environment where religion, learning, and community are intertwined. A small school of approximately 250 students, they build deep ties among children, families, and staff, resulting in a sense of belonging that generations of families have called home. Every child at Holy Family is known, valued, and inspired to follow in Jesus’ footsteps while upholding our fundamental values of Courage, Respect, and Mercy.
Next door to O’Loughlin Catholic College they offer seamless continuity from Early Learning through Year 6 and into secondary years—all within one supporting area.
Their beloved “Rainbows” programme welcomes children aged 2.5 to 5 into a place of discovery, combining the Early Years Learning Framework with play-based exploration facilitated by expert educators. Young hearts develop confidence, curiosity, and a foundation for lifelong learning in our upgraded indoor-outdoor habitats and colourful playground, where we proudly serve multigenerational families.
After School Care and Vacation Care programmes provide safe, enriching experiences with a variety of alternatives, including pick-ups and creative activities. Holy Family Catholic Primary School works with you to relieve the everyday juggle, giving you peace of mind so you can cherish those precious family times.
If you want to be a part of a vibrant, inclusive community based on Gospel values and watch your child thrive, enrol today.
