Principal's Message

Dear Parents, students and staff,
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a relaxing New Year, hopefully COVID free. Thank you for your support and encouragement this year.
Thank you to the staff and students for dealing well with a challenging year.
Graduation: Congratulations to the Year 6 students who were able to celebrate their graduation last Tuesday. The students certainly appreciated the opportunity to take part in a Liturgy followed by a meal and some dancing. During the Liturgy, these awards were given to the following students:

Salesian College Sunbury: Olivia Gusak
Sacred Heart College Kyneton: Finn Collins
Graduation Tree:
We have started a new tradition at Holy Cross where the year 6 class plant a tree in the school yard to commemorate their time at Holy Cross. We also have a plaque which indicates the year 2020.
