Holy Trinity Primary Granville

Dear Parents and Carers,

In 2020, Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta will celebrate the bicentenary of Australia’s first Catholic school through continued commitment of growing opportunities of Catholic education for all.

From our first school in 1820, the contribution of the earliest Catholic schools transformed access to education for disadvantaged Australians. Today, Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta builds on this legacy through leadership both on equity and the transformation of learning and teaching through innovation.

Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta will celebrate the bicentenary of Australia’s first Catholic school through a continued commitment to growing opportunities of Catholic education for all. This milestone will provide the opportunity to learn from one another, inviting the voices, curiosity, and creativity of our students, teachers and parents to celebrate the gifts of faith and learning. In owning the history of Catholic schools in Australia, we recognise the hurts of the past. We acknowledge the victims of abuse and injustice and continue to support them in healing together.  

We acknowledge the history, stories, and Dreaming of the Darug people. We learn from the wrongs of the past, and these challenges guide us to a future that is accepting, welcoming and proudly diverse. The history of Catholic education in Australia is far from staid, beginning with Irish insurgency in the early colony. We continue to grow from our beginnings in 1820, acknowledging the spirit, determination, and initiative shown by our earliest lay teachers. 

Ours is a story of courage and determination with heroes like St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, a woman whose extraordinary faith effectively extended the opportunities of education to ordinary Australian children. We continue to grow from the foundations laid by the religious orders and the legacy of the clergy who dedicated their lives to building Catholic schools and their communities. 

The contribution of the earliest Catholic schools transformed access to education for disadvantaged Australians. Today, Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta builds on this legacy through leading, transforming learning and teaching and through outreach. Above all, we celebrate all that unites us, and we commit to a hope that defines us, in living out God’s love for one another.

Dear Parent and Friends,

Grip Leadership Conference

On Tuesday the School Student Leaders attended the Grip Leadership Conference. Joel, Nicholas, Christabelle and Lamea spent the day learning about ‘What it means to be a leader”.

They came away from the conference with new ideas and changes that can be implemented at Holy Trinity.

Positive Behaviour Support For Learning (PBS4L)

To create a positive and safe learning environment at Holy Trinity, we have begun to create individual behaviour plans for students who require extra assistance to follow our 3 school rules.

• Be Safe

• Be Respectful

• Be a Learner 

These plans are co constructed with students and teachers from the school’s leadership team. Our aim is for the students to take responsibility for their own learning and behaviour. We ask all parents/carers to discuss with the children the following behaviour expectations at school.

Year 6 Sports Shirts

Once again we will be ordering sports shirts with the names of all Year 6 students to celebrate their final Year at Holy Trinity. The shirts will be navy blue with sky blue accents.

Before the shirts can be ordered we need to select the correct sized shirt for each student. Over the next two weeks between 8:40-9:00am and 3:00-3:30pm can you please arrange to come to the Year 6 classroom to try on some samples of shirts. We are hoping to order the shirts for early next term.

Have you checked out the school Facebook page lately! We are constantly posting about the great things that are happening at HTG.
