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.

Today, our Kindy to Year 3 students had a special morning exploring the parables of Jesus brought to life through the power of song! πΎβ¨ A massive thank you to Van, who not only wrote these wonderful songs but also shared his incredible talent by performing them for our students today. It was a beautiful, joyful way for our younger students to connect with these timeless stories. Ask your children on the ride home which parable song was their favourite! ππ¬ A huge thank you to Deacon Adrian, who organised this for us!

If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.
