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.

Today we welcomed the election of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as the Pope, now to be known by the name Leo XIV. This represents a momentous event in the life of the Catholic Church, the wider community of Christian believers and, in many respects, the whole world. Pope Leo XIV paid tribute to Pope Francis in his first remarks, which focused on peace. “Peace be with all of you,” he said. He urged the faithful to “move forward, without fear, united, hand in hand with God and with each other”.

May is the month of Mary. During this month, we honour Mary, the mother of our Saviour, and seek her prayers for the world. Today, our Year 6 iHelp students led a decade of the rosary and reflected on the Joyful Mysteries. Students asked for Mother Mary to pray for the upcoming Conclave. Students in Years 3 to 6 are welcome to join in praying the Rosary on Mondays at lunchtime, during the month of May.

A huge THANK YOU to Mr Wilkinson who visited our Year 4 students today for their remembrance of ANZAC day. Mr Wilkinson shared his experiences in the Vietnam War and the students asked very thoughtful and respectful questions. He concluded with a very powerful message: to show love, respect, kindness, and empathy towards one another.

The Stations of the Cross is a special form of prayer which helps us reflect on Jesus’ suffering and death and ultimately his love for us ✝️ We too can carry crosses in our lives, and it is through Jesus that we find the strength to make things better for ourselves and for others ❤️
