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.

Celebrating Multicultural Diversity! Today’s celebration holds a special significance as we reflect on the story of Pentecost. Just as the Holy Spirit enabled people of different languages and lands to understand one another, we recognise that our differences are not barriers—they are gifts. "For we were all baptised by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink." — 1 Corinthians 12:13

🔥 Celebrating Pentecost: Many Tongues, One Heart 🔥 Today, our school community came together to celebrate Pentecost, marking the beautiful moment the Holy Spirit descended like fire, bringing a message that everyone could understand in their own language. At Holy Cross, our classrooms are filled with a vibrant tapestry of backgrounds, cultures, and stories. We speak different languages and come from different walks of life, but today was a powerful reminder that diversity is our strength and faith is our glue. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this celebration of the Eucharist special: The Holy Notes Band and Choir, supported by Mr Lendai, all the readers (especially those students who spoke in their first language), altar servers, IT, and offertory.
