Students belong to four house teams that promote connections to our Catholic story and a deeper sense of belonging. Houses are used for sporting events, assemblies and gatherings.
The four schoolhouses include blue, green, yellow and red.
Our school takes its name from the Holy Family, which includes Jesus, the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph.
