Principal’s Message
Welcome to Holy Innocents’ Catholic Primary School Croydon.
I am so excited to be back at Holy Innocents’ Catholic Primary School Croydon… for a third time! I started my teaching journey back in 2006 at Holy Innocents’ and returned as Acting Assistant Principal in 2018.
Holy Innocents’ School Catholic Primary School Croydon began in February 1925. The school opened with 55 pupils. During the week, the new Church was partitioned off into classrooms, with pews used as desks. The holes from the hinges of the drop-down desks can still be seen today in the church.
The first teachers were two Sisters of Charity from Concord. Due to the pressing need for more teachers in their own Parish, by 1927 they could no longer service the school. On their arrival, the Presentation Sisters advertised that they would take lessons in piano and all stringed instruments, singing, theory of music, elocution, dancing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and business principles. In 1927, the school had 142 pupils.
The school motto, Light My Way was created through a shared process involving students, staff and parents and epitomises our commitment to our Presentation charism and our commitment to share our Catholic faith through teachers and parents working together to educate students in faith.
At Holy Innocents’ Catholic Primary School Croydon we pride ourselves on our strong connection to our parish and community.
