Holy Cross Primary was mentioned in Parliament this week by Michelle Rowland, recognising the wonderful work of a student from Year 4 and a student from Year 6 who have been examining the problems of plastic pollution in our environment and have been campaigning to curb the use of water bottles in Australia.
See Michelle Rowland’s comments regarding Holy Cross about 30 seconds into the attached video clip.
Team Infinity from Holy Cross Primary School have recently participated in the FIRST LEGO League program, working on a Lego robotics program to raise awareness about plastic bottle usage. As part of their project, students Ella & Eric Burakowski shared with Michelle Rowland some concerning plastic bottled water facts.
- It takes 40,000 barrels of oil to make plastic water bottles for the whole of Australia
- It takes three litres of water and one litre of oil to make one plastic water bottle
- It can cost $2.50 to make one litre of plastic bottled water.
Team Infinity has been trying to reach out to organisations (who are the main consumer of plastic water bottles), sharing their concerns and alternative solutions such as composting, recycling projects and using portable water stations from Sydney Water which are free to hire.

Celebrating the Feast of St. Mary MacKillop 🌸 On Wednesday, our school community gathered together to celebrate Mass in honour of Australia’s first saint, St. Mary MacKillop! It was a beautiful service dedicated to reflecting on her incredible legacy of faith, courage, and dedication to education. Our students and staff were reminded of her famous words—"Never see a need without doing something about it"—and how we can live out her mission of kindness and service in our everyday lives. Mass Highlights: Student-led readings, offertory, beautiful music from our Principal, Mr Lendvai, and a liturgical movement from our Years 2 and 3 students (organised by Miss Burt and Mrs Farrelly.

Today, our Kindy to Year 3 students had a special morning exploring the parables of Jesus brought to life through the power of song! 🌾✨ A massive thank you to Van, who not only wrote these wonderful songs but also shared his incredible talent by performing them for our students today. It was a beautiful, joyful way for our younger students to connect with these timeless stories. Ask your children on the ride home which parable song was their favourite! 🚗💬 A huge thank you to Deacon Adrian, who organised this for us!
