Welcome to Holy Cross Connect, the Parents Association of our school!

Holy Cross Connect is a collaborative community comprising parents, family members, members of the School leadership team, and the Holy Cross Parish community. Everyone is welcome! Our association aims to foster connections within Holy Cross School, the Parish, and Catholic Education.

Our goal is to create a space where families can work together with the school to create opportunities for connection and growth for all our students, families, and the wider community. We strive to engage in our students’ learning and enrich their time at school through the sharing of insights.

Holy Cross Connect facilitates two main channels to achieve its objectives:

• Parent Voice Subgroups: Topics are decided by the committee based on the needs of the school community.
• Regular Events throughout the year

Fundraising is not our main goal; families already contribute through the P&F levy. Our aim is to use these funds to make events financially accessible for all families, ensuring everyone, has the opportunity, to participate. The only event specifically aimed at fundraising is our spectacular Christmas Fair, which requires extensive volunteer support from our school community.

Any surplus funds at the end of the year will be allocated to school projects.

We assign events to specific Year levels to encourage participation from that cohort of parents. Event assignments may be revised annually during the AGM.

Examples of Parent Voice Subgroup activities include:

• School Uniform Re-design
• Information sessions on playground activities
• Easing the transition to High School for our families

Examples of Annual Events by term and Year level:

• Term 1: Disco – Year 4
