As part of the Holy Cross 20th Anniversary celebrations, the school held a Skip-a-Thon on Friday the 13th of September.
This involved the students participating in various skipping challenges and routines that built upon their skills that were taught on Monday during our skipping program led by MultiSport. The aim was to have fun as well as focus on fitness skills our students had been learned this term.
Money raised from the Skip-a-Thon will be used to purchase more reading resources for our school and our students. We thank you for your support in improving the learning opportunities for our students. Students were encouraged to arrange sponsorship for the Skip-a-Thon. A sponsorship card was provided where students were able to ask family members and friends to be a sponsor.

The iHelp Group has been busy sorting out all of the Vinnies Winter Appeal donations from our school community and packing countless snack packs. Some Year 3 and Year 4 iHelp representatives helped deliver the food donations this week to the Vinnies Services Van in Greystanes and the winter woolies to the Vinnies Support Centre in Blacktown. They witnessed dedicated volunteers working hard to help people in need in our community. All your generous donations allows them to do this. Together, we're helping to bring warmth and support to those who need it most this winter. Vinnies NSW NSW Vinnies Youth Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
