News from Holy Cross Catholic Primary Glenwood

Holy Cross Primary students donate gifts for needy children

11 Dec 2014

Representatives from Year One dropped off gifts at the Giving Tree
Representatives from Year One dropped off gifts at the Giving Tree

 

The true mission of Jesus and the spirit of Christmas was evident at Holy Cross Primary School Glenwood this week when Year One students presented gifts they bought for the Kmart Wishing Tree at Blacktown.

The store manager met three representatives from Year One- Arabelle Stennett, Patrick Villiers and Amelia O’Rourke and congratulated them on their generosity towards those in need.

Earlier this term, students made puzzles, packaged them and sold them, to raise money for the gifts. The students then chose gifts and wrapped them in their own art work for children in need this Christmas.

Principal Marina Hardy said that the students’ generous and thoughtful actions reflect the true meaning of Christmas. ‘We are very proud of our young students who have worked to raise money and buy gifts to those who are not as fortunate,’ said Marina.

Today these boys played their semi final of the Mark Taylor Shield cricket competition against St Gregory’s College in Campbelltown 🏏 They did their absolute best against a tough opposition and were so close to advancing through to the final! It came down to just 1 wicket in a very exciting finish but we just fell short. They should be extremely proud of their efforts to get to the final four in a knock out competition involving schools from all across Sydney, Wollongong and the Central Coast! Well done boys πŸ‘

Today Year 6 spent a special day of reflection. Our day commenced with a beautiful prayer allowing the children to reflect on their past years of primary. Laughs were shared as we reflected on special Kindy and Year 1 mementos. The children discussed their feelings and challenges of beginning a new journey in High School. We created an artwork that reflected the Gospel passage 'I am the Light of the World' - Our Graduation Theme.
