Dear parents and families,

Last Thursday, the CEDoW Director of Schools, Peter Hill, spent the day with us at Holy Cross. Mr Hill has prioritised visits to all 38 schools in the Wollongong Diocese to develop a greater understanding of each school and to be with our students. 

Mr Hill’s visit gave us the opportunity to showcase our learning during the English block. Our students engaged with Mr Hill and explained what they were learning and why this learning is important. Our Yr 6 students and Mr Hill participated in a yarning circle which gave Mr Hill the opportunity to learn more about our school leaders, their role as leaders in the school and the legacy they hope to leave behind at the end of the year. 

Mr Hill then gathered with our school community for our World Environment day liturgy and addressed the gathering with insights into the importance of this day. He also helped to plant the final addition to our bush tucker garden and engaged with our Gardening Club leaders and Ecologist, Rod, to learn more about the environmental initiatives at our school.

Mr Hill’s presence was warmly received and greatly appreciated by our staff and students.
