Special Character
Holy Cross School is special because of its learning.
She is helpful if you are hurt.
It’s loving, caring, educated and it has beautiful songs.
The songs are about religion and the love of God.
It’s Catholic because we belong to the Catholic Church, faith and a uniform.
It‘s a Catholic Christ centered school.
It’s a child focussed, loving, caring and learning school.
It’s a challenging, running and fun school because the new playground is full of things that you can play on or run or slide on.
It’s an athletic school.
What I’m saying is that the school is special in every single way. It’s a magnificent school.
