Dear parents and carers,

With this being our final newsletter for the 2021 school year, I wish to acknowledge and thank our parents and families for their support of myself, the Leadership Team and all school staff. I have said on many occasions how grateful I am to work in such a solid partnership with our parent community. We all know how precious every student is at Holy Cross. Their faith, learning and wellbeing mean everything to all of us and this makes working in partnership so very important.

I wish all of our families a truly blessed Christmas season. I pray that the time you spend with family and friends is joyous and energising. I pray that you remain healthy, safe and get to experience the true wonders of this season.

I would also like to extend my appreciation for our staff. I am very proud of the commitment and energy they have all given to our students throughout the year. They have continued to work hard during very challenging times and have kept the faith, learning and wellbeing of our students at the forefront. Father Paul has been a great support to me throughout the year and I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to him. Here’s hoping that we can continue to attend regular masses and celebrations as a school community with Father Paul in 2022.

Finally, I would like to express my genuine love and gratitude for our students. They are truly amazing. They have endured a very challenging year and have coped beyond belief. I am proud of every single student and I wish them all the fun, excitement and joy that the Christmas season brings. All the very best to our Year 6 class of 2021 - you will be missed but will always remain members of our Holy Cross community.
