Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
At Holroyd, it’s all about our students. Every voice matters. Every story counts. Every student belongs.
Our values - Care, Opportunity, Responsibility, Diversity - shape who we are. They guide how we learn, how we treat each other, and how we celebrate success.
We are proud to be a High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) school. That means we believe in stretching potential, not limiting it. From the classroom to the stage, the sports field to student leadership, we create opportunities for every young person to see themselves in the life of our school.
Learning here is explicit. Clear steps. Clear goals. Clear pathways to success. And always with students at the centre — driving their own learning and helping shape the school they’re part of.
Holroyd is diverse, vibrant, and alive with energy. Walk through our gates and you’ll feel it: a community that backs its students and believes in them.
