Band Program

The Holy Family Band Program is an extra-curricular activity run by the Holy Family Band Parent Committee in cooperation with the school.The aim of the program is to provide musical enrichment complementary to the educational framework of the school. The program seeks to emphasise four important elements for our children: commitment, dedication, musical achievement and fun.

Sport

At Holy Family, students participate in a large number of sports. We are very lucky to have great opportunities to represent our school sport at North Shore Zone, Broken Bay level and beyond. Each term, through 'sporting school funding' we have sport available from outside organisations which help to heighten the sporting experience at Holy Family, Lindfield.

Our Broken Bay Diocese provides many opportunities to represent our school at Sport Gala Days, where students verse other schools from the Diocese in:

• Netball
• League Tag
• Tennis
• Soccer

In addition to this we also have Broken Bay Trials that run throughout winter and summer.  Students in Years 4-6, who play at a representative level for their local club, are encouraged to attend these trials.

Winter Trials:

• AFL
• League
• Netball
• Hockey
• Soccer
• Touch
• Rugby Union

Summer trials:

• Basketball
• Tennis
• Cricket
• Softball

Participating in sports not only promotes physical well-being but also fosters teamwork, discipline, and a sense of community to the overall development of students.

 At Holy Family Catholic Primary School we have a special responsibility to look after the academic, social, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing of all in our care.

Holy Family is a community that provides a strong sense of wellbeing, belonging and security where students are given every opportunity to be affirmed with dignity and worth and assisted to grow to the fullness of their potential. We acknowledge the right for all members of our community to feel safe.

Holy Family Catholic Primary School was founded in the Brigidine tradition, and the values and charism that Saint Brigid promoted are embedded into our Mission and Vision Statements. Throughout the school, we have shared values which provide staff, parents and children with the language to discuss behaviour in a consistent way.

Our Brigidine values are reflected in our school rules: Respect, Responsibility and to Learn. Our commitment to these values and rules therefore means that at Holy Family every child has the right to be safe and to feel safe. In all that we do we aim to develop confidence and competence in our students and encourage a real connection to their school and their community. These strengths allow them to face life-long challenges in a positive and resilient manner.

 Our school is ideally located for transport. We are within walking distance of Lindfield Train Station, and buses run from Killara, Gordon, Chatwood, and East Lindfield.
