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.

Last night, a group Year 6 students from iHelp, collaborated with students from St John XXIII to participate in the Vinnies Winter Stay Out. It was an opportunity to raise awareness and walk in the shoes of many people experiencing homelessness in our community. It aimed to build empathy and a greater understanding of the challenges many face each day. The meaningful and reflective activities planned for the evening, encouraged the students to think deeply about their role in promoting dignity and compassion for all. Thank you to the Faith In Action Team at St John XXIII College for including Holy Cross in this event and also to the St Vincent de Paul Society volunteers for sharing stories about how they serve others in need.

They've been busy with "Team-Building Challenges," "Laser Tag," "High Ropes," "Flying Fox" and "Orienteering". It's wonderful to see them building new friendships, developing their independence, and making memories that will last a lifetime. We'll be sharing more photos and updates throughout the camp, so keep an eye on our page!
