The school is adjacent to the Mount Waverley Village shopping centre and the Glen Waverley railway line. The school is sited within the parish property along with the church, parish hall complex, extensive playground areas and a car park. Holy Family School is set in a very supportive community of parish and parishioners, parents and staff all contributing to and acknowledging the important work being undertaken within this vibrant learning institution. The school currently has an enrolment of 363 students. There is an expectation for student enrolments to continue to increase. Students are taught in fourteen classes, two being Prep classes, and the other twelve are composite classes.

The Leadership team consists of Principal, Deputy Principals, Religious Education Leader, Learning and Teaching Leader, Literacy Leader, Information Communication Technology (ICT) Leader, Student Services Leader and Wellbeing Leader. The students contribute to and participate in a Student Representative Council with representatives from all class groups meeting on a regular basis. Years five and six students participate in summer (first term) and winter (terms 2&3) inter-school sport and students in years Prep-4 access swimming lessons as a core component of the Health and Physical Education program in term 4. The school offers an out of school hours care program on site as administered through Camp Australia. The school buildings are single storey arranged around a central courtyard and alongside extensive play areas. The site is very secure and provides adequate areas for all formal and informal games and play. Trees and shade cloth areas are provided in both designated play grounds. The school buildings have been progressively and extensively renovated throughout the past six years. All classrooms have been refitted and extended to incorporate a shared withdrawal space and teacher offices. Student toilets have been enclosed within the main building and completely rebuilt. The Administration, staff areas, offices and school entry have been rebuilt. Throughout 2010/2011/2012 we upgraded our middle and senior school classrooms and adjoining corridors. The school gymnasium and small hall were also refurbished in 2011. The school oval was re-surfaced to an all-purpose/all weather synthetic grass surface in 2009. The oval has markings and space for a cricket pitch, four lane running track, 100 metre sprint track, long jump pit, football oval and soccer pitch. In 2014 we completed building a new Grade 5/6 learning centre to further enhance the learning environments for our children and staff. The Curriculum offered is based on the Religious Education Texts To Know, Worship and Love and the AusVELS framework. Our parish organises the Sacramental Program for all Catholic children of the parish and the school staff works closely with the parish pastoral associate to present the program each year. Through the regular meetings of the Religious Education team all opportunities to engage the students in parish life are explored and planned. The students are given every opportunity to live and experience daily our Catholic faith, in this educational setting. 2015 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY 4

ACARA school level reporting requirements will require system level income from Government grants and some private income to be allocated by school. This will be a small adjustment in relation to the total level of school resources. At this stage, recurrent income from Government sources, school generated income and capital expenditure are to be reported by schools.
