CHOIR PERFORMS AT HOSPITAL OPENING

Today the College Choir sang at the Blessing and  Opening of St John of God Public Hospital in Midland. It was a significant event and the College was very pleased to be involved in a ceremony which marked the beginning of a new era for health care in the Swan Valley.  The Choir, which included students from Junior, Middle and Senior Schools, gave an excellence performance.  Thanks to Mr McRae for his work with the Choir and Mr Muller and Mrs Azzopardi for their support. 

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION

Please keep Year 3 students in your prayers as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Tuesday.

STAFFING

Next week we will farewell Ms Jayne McNae.  Ms McNae has made a significant contribution to Holy Cross College in the roles of Year 7 Team Leader and Learning Enrichment Coordinator.   I wish her all the best for her return to New Zealand and thank her for her contribution to Holy Cross College during these years of growth.

JUNIOR SCHOOL TRANSITION

On Tuesday Junior School students will have a morning of transition in their 2016 class. Students who will be joining the College in Pre-primary to Year 4 in 2016 will join us for the transition morning.

COLLEGE COMMUNITY MEETING

The College community meeting will take place on Tuesday 1 December.  This will include the Annual General Meetings for the  College Board and Friends of Holy Cross. The meetings will commence at 6:30pm following the Friends Of Holy Cross Wine and Cheese function which commences at 5:30pm.  The 2016 budget, including 2016 school fees will be tabled.  

 

The College is seeking competent and dedicated people to serve as Board members. If you have an interest in the welfare of the students and staff and are eager to promote Catholic schooling,  you may see membership of the College Board as a means of giving valuable service to the College community. Though all Board members should bring to the Board their own contribution to its work, the most important skill required is the ability to work cooperatively and constructively with all other members of the Board. Board members, of course, must be willing and able to give their time. A letter was sent home last week regarding the meetings and calling for nominations.  If you would,like any more information, please contact me through the College Office.

HOUSE LUNCH

On  Wednesday 25 November  Middle and Senior School students  will have lunch with their Junior school House buddies.  Students from PP - Year 3 and Middle and Senior School students who have a buddy role should wear their House shirts on Wednesday.
