Catholic schools are all about family and therefore a sense of partnership between home and school is considered vital. When parents, carers, families and teachers share in the common vision of the school, the effectiveness of the school and the child’s experience is greatly enhanced. At Holy Cross School, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming and inclusive community with parents strongly encouraged to become involved in the life of the school.
Ways to Get Involved
- Voluntary support activities (e.g. tuckshop, library, working bees)
- Classroom activities and celebrations
- Attending school liturgies and events (e.g. fetes, sporting carnivals)
- Holy Cross Connect Meetings, Insights and Events
- Other Voice Committees
Why Volunteering Matters
Volunteers play a vital role in creating a vibrant, supportive school community. When families and community members share their time, students see firsthand the value of teamwork, kindness, and connection. Volunteering strengthens learning, builds confidence, and helps our school offer experiences that go beyond the classroom. Holy Cross School is blessed with a long history of volunteers including parents, grandparents, parishioners, and wider community members.
Opportunities to Get Involved
- Classroom support — listening to reading, helping with small group activities, or assisting with creative projects
- Library assistance — helping students borrow books, shelving, or supporting reading programs
- Sports and clubs — assisting with coaching, training, or Sporting Pathways
- Events — joining in with Holy Cross Connect activities such as our biannual Christmas Fair
Volunteering is not only meaningful — it’s rewarding. It provides an opportunity to connect with the school community and meet other families. It’s a great way to support your child’s learning in a hands-on way while sharing your skills and passions. Every contribution, big or small, helps make a positive impact that students will remember.
