Holy Family School was blessed by the Most Reverend William E. Murray, Bishop of Wollongong and officially opened by Senator the Honorable Peter Baume, Commonwealth Minister of Education on 1st August, 1982.

The school was built to meet the needs of a rapidly growing area in the Macarthur Region. Parents, who wanted a Catholic education for their children, worked hard to ensure the project came to fruition. Sister Bernadette Nichols, a Sister of the Good Samaritan Order, was the founding Principal.

Our new School Song

by Kevin Bates sm 2003

GROWING IN WISDOM

Welcome to you in this place of wonder,

Welcome to you in this place of hope,

Welcome to you when you share your story

Welcome to you as we start:

 

REFRAIN

Growing in wisdom with Jesus our brother,

Welcoming everyone into our school,

Seeing God's gifts open up in each other,

We grow as family- glad we belong

At Holy Family School.

 

 

We love sharing God's great gifts in our family,

We know how to open God's gifts in our school,

Acting with justice and love and forgiveness,

Respecting each person's own way of:

 

 

REFRAIN

 

Parents and children and teachers all learning

And teaching each other in God's loving ways;

In our hearts we have Jesus-still with us in spirit,

And calling us forward each day to:

 

REFRAIN

 

 

People can see in our spirit of welcome

Children and teachers who love to belong

Like family so holy that lives in our memory,

Our family now lives a new song:

 

REFRAIN

 

 

Our school prayer

This is our school

Let peace dwell here,

Let the rooms be full of contentment

Let love abide here

Love of God, love of each other

And love of life itself

Let us remember that as many hands build a house

So many hearts build a school.

Amen.
