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.

We are so proud of our Year 4 students who continued their fantastic support for the Great Western Sydney Vinnies Van today! The students successfully prepared a range of 60 fresh sandwiches to donate. These efforts make a tangible difference in our community, helping people who struggle to provide enough food for themselves and their families, or those experiencing homelessness. A massive thank you also goes to Ms. Doherty, who has been an integral and dedicated part of this process since it was first introduced in Term 1. What an incredible example of compassion and service!

A very exciting game of cricket today but unfortunately for our team we were on the losing end by the narrowest of margins 🏏 After keeping the opposition to 7/97 we ended our innings at 7/92 losing by just 5 runs. The team did so well the whole way through the competition and should be extremely proud of making it to the Final 6 teams 👏
