Holy Cross Primary ranks in the NAPLAN Top 10 for the Blacktown area.
Primary schools in the Blacktown Local Government Area are outperforming students at similar schools across the country in key NAPLAN subjects, new data shows. A recent article in the Blacktown Advocate named St John Vianney’s Primary, Holy Cross Primary and Mary Immaculate Primary School as ranking in the Top 10 for the Blacktown area.
The 2018 NAPLAN results, uploaded to the Australia Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority’s My School website this week, showed which primary schools across the Blacktown area achieved results “above” or “substantially above” other schools with similar students.
NAPLAN tests assess primary students in years 3 and 5 and high school students in years 7 and 9 in literacy and numeracy.
The results of students with a similar Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA), were compared by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority to determine how schools fared against others with similar challenges and opportunities.
Year 3 students St John Vianney’s Primary School achieved results “significantly above” similar schools in at least one subject.

This term, our Year 2 students have been learning about how to love their neighbour by putting their faith into action. Using the generous donations from Holy Cross families, they packed snack packs for the Vinnies Van Service and created Cards of Hope to brighten someone's day. A beautiful example of faith in action!ππβοΈ Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese #faithinactioncspd

πVinnies Winter Appeal and Vinnies Winter Eveningπ Last week, a group of students hand-delivered our donations to the Blacktown Support Centre, learning about the vital care provided to locals in need. On Thursday evening, iHelp students gathered to build awareness & solidarity around homelessness. While listening to inspiring Vinnies volunteers, students shared a simple meal made with fresh produce from our school garden, before packing over 100 snack packs for the Vinnies Van services. Parents also connected at a special information session to explore ways to continue supporting those doing it tough. A massive thank you to every family who contributed. Your kindness is making a real difference right here in our local community! Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese #faithinactioncspd
