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.

A huge THANK YOU to Mr Wilkinson who visited our Year 4 students today for their remembrance of ANZAC day. Mr Wilkinson shared his experiences in the Vietnam War and the students asked very thoughtful and respectful questions. He concluded with a very powerful message: to show love, respect, kindness, and empathy towards one another.![626921712571842_1117668910163784-1]()

The Stations of the Cross is a special form of prayer which helps us reflect on Jesus’ suffering and death and ultimately his love for us ✝️ We too can carry crosses in our lives, and it is through Jesus that we find the strength to make things better for ourselves and for others ❤️
