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.

Transitioning smoothly into βbig schoolβ: What parents need to know
The first day of Kindergarten! Itβs a milestone filled with excitement, pride and maybe a few nerves (for both you and your child!). Starting βbig schoolβ marks the beginning of a whole new adventure, and with a little preparation, you can help make those first weeks calm, confident and full of smiles.

β€οΈ Making a Difference with Messages of Hope! We are absolutely bursting with pride over the incredible compassion shown by our students! π₯Ή Every single student in our school played a part in a beautiful project that embodies the core teachings of Jesus by providing hope, joy, and love to children in need. They created links for a massive, colourful paper chain, and on each link, they wrote a personal message of encouragement, happiness, and peace. The result is a magnificent chain filled with hundreds of heartfelt wishes! πβ¨ This chain has now been used to help decorate the Westmead Children's Hospital for Christmas! Our hope is that these visible messages of love and faith bring a little extra light, comfort, and joy to the brave children, their families, and the dedicated staff there. It's a powerful reminder that when we work together in love, we can truly brighten the world for others. Well done, everyone!

This week we say a very special farewell to Mrs Villiers, who after 24 years of dedicated service is retiring from the Holy Cross school community π’ For over two decades, Mrs Villiers has been a constant presence, supporting generations of students, working alongside countless staff, and giving her time, care and commitment to everything she did. Her kindness, professionalism and deep care for our school and students have left a lasting mark that will be felt for many years to come. Throughout her time, Mrs Villiers has seen our school grow and change, yet one thing has always remained the same, her unwavering dedication to our students and community. We are incredibly grateful for the knowledge, warmth and positivity she has shared so generously. Thank you, Mrs Villiers, for everything you have given to our school over the past 24 years. You will be greatly missed ππ We wish you all the very best in this next chapter of your life, you truly deserve it β€οΈ Mrs Villiers will be farewelled with a guard of honour this Wednesday afternoon, and it would be fantastic if you could join us for the occasion π
