Holy Family Primary School provides a Catholic education for Foundation to Year 6 students from families in the Bell Park suburb of Geelong.
Our multicultural school recognises, values and welcomes the rich and diverse cultures of the Holy Family community. As students are the heart of Holy Family School we strive to provide a learning environment that is inclusive of all, nurturing a climate of mutual respect where students develop a sense of belonging and attachment to school.
The model of the ‘Holy Family’ is the keystone for our school community. Our Catholic identity seeks to integrate parish, family and school life in faith and gospel values.
Our three school values of ‘respect, compassion and responsibility’ are lived daily by the school community.
At Holy Family Primary School, we are proud to align our teaching practices with the Melbourne Archdiocese Vision for Instruction launched in 2024. This vision’s bold goals of Excellence and Equity guide our commitment to providing the highest standard of education.
We focus on delivering a knowledge-rich, evidence-based curriculum grounded in the Science of Learning, ensuring that our methods are supported by research and proven to be effective. By prioritising excellence, we ensure that our teaching and learning programs are rigorous and impactful, while also striving for equity, making sure every student, regardless of background, achieves proficiency in literacy and numeracy.
In recent years, we have invested significant time and resources into refining both our curriculum and instructional strategies, ensuring that we consistently offer the best possible learning experience for all students.
Holy Family School provides a welcoming, safe and positive learning environment with strong emphasis on the wellbeing of all members of our school community. We believe that students learn best in environments where their social, emotional and physical wellbeing is nurtured.
Holy Family Primary School has undergone major upgrades to our buildings and facilities in recent years and we are very proud of our contemporary and flexible learning spaces. We have completed a major external upgrade with the replacement of asphalt with astro synthetic sports grade turf enabling our students to have full year round access to basketball, netball, volleyball and downball squares.
Our outside areas provide a welcome environment for students’ creative and imaginative play, while also providing quiet, peaceful meditation spaces.
Holy Family Primary School has partnered with an independent Outside of School Hours Care (OSHC) provider called TheirCare. TheirCare provides a stimulating and safe environment where children develop life skills, friendships, confidence, and creativity.
