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 these boys played their semi final of the Mark Taylor Shield cricket competition against St Gregory’s College in Campbelltown 🏏 They did their absolute best against a tough opposition and were so close to advancing through to the final! It came down to just 1 wicket in a very exciting finish but we just fell short. They should be extremely proud of their efforts to get to the final four in a knock out competition involving schools from all across Sydney, Wollongong and the Central Coast! Well done boys 👏

Today Year 6 spent a special day of reflection. Our day commenced with a beautiful prayer allowing the children to reflect on their past years of primary. Laughs were shared as we reflected on special Kindy and Year 1 mementos. The children discussed their feelings and challenges of beginning a new journey in High School. We created an artwork that reflected the Gospel passage 'I am the Light of the World' - Our Graduation Theme.
