Welcome to Holy Spirit School at New Farm. On behalf of our exceptional educators and vibrant parent community, I extend a warm invitation to all prospective families and thank you for considering entrusting our school with the education of your child.
Selecting the right school for your child is a decision that we highly value. Each student at Holy Spirit School is celebrated for their unique gifts and talents, nurtured throughout their holistic development, and empowered to enrich their lives and the lives of those around them. Centred on delivering excellence in Catholic Education, Holy Spirit fosters a lived example of our school vision, “ever learning, ever growing," as our students challenge themselves and thrive throughout their primary educational journey.
Holy Spirit School celebrates our rich history and traditions. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy, our underlying Mercy Values of faith, belonging, compassion, respect, and service guide each of our members, as together, we build an inclusive, diverse and welcoming school community.
Located in New Farm, an inner-city riverside peninsula in Brisbane, Holy Spirit has been serving the local and broader community since 1930. Working in partnership with parents and carers throughout their child's primary schooling, Holy Spirit School is widely recognised for its excellence in education, collaborative community, and embracing school culture.
At Holy Spirit, our exceptional educators work alongside our families to deliver impactful learning and high expectations for all our students. Our commitment to fostering a love of learning that enables all students to flourish drives our numerous learning opportunities. Holy Spirit's enrolments of 270 students enable individualised learning that fosters stronger teacher-student relationships and a greater sense of community whilst offering quality experiences across our extensive educational program. This is inclusive of our S.T.E.A.M enrichment program, specialised language lessons in Chinese, extra-curricular sporting opportunities, debating and entrepreneurial experiences, instrumental music program, targeted enhancement in literacy and numeracy, and developmentally appropriate curriculum delivery that builds confident, critical and creative thinkers.
As the Principal of Holy Spirit School, I warmly invite you to our community. Your child will be nurtured and encouraged, whilst they gain an invaluable education and will graduate from Holy Spirit School with an abundance of rich memories, ensuring they are inspired and capable to succeed as they continue their educational journey.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our blessed school. Please contact the Front Office at (07) 3358 2344 to book your Principal and Student Leader Tours to learn more about what awaits your child at Holy Spirit School.
