Holy Family Catholic Primary School - Karama

Holy Family Catholic Primary School is situated in Karama, one of Darwin’s northern suburbs. It is very close to a major shopping centre and Leanyer Water Park and about 15 minutes from Darwin CBD. Our school was built and opened in 1983. Holy Family Parish Church and O’Loughlin Catholic College are adjacent to the school. Proximity to O’Loughlin Middle and Senior School means that families have the opportunity for their children to be educated from the beginning of primary schooling through to the completion of secondary studies all in the one location.

With approximately 235 students, our school enjoys many of the advantages of being a smaller community. Currently, there are nine classrooms catering for students from Transition to Year 6. We also have an Early Learning Community for 2.5-5year olds. This centre provides long term day care and offers both an educational program and activities based around experimental play. It also has a pre-school program facilitated by a teacher. Our After School Care and Vacation Care programs operate for families that require these services due to parent/work commitments.
