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.

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!

We want to send the warmest thank you to every family and staff member who contributed to the Jesuit Social Services Christmas Food Drive this year! The response was overwhelming, and some iHelp students were able to deliver two car boots full of essential items to the Ignite Food Store in Emerton. Your donations were immediately placed on the shelves and are now providing comfort and relief to struggling people in our local community. Due to the great volume of donations, we were also able to create extra food hampers for the St Vincent de Paul Society. These hampers have also been collected and distributed to local families in need this Christmas season. Thank you for living out the spirit of giving! ππ
