We are currently able to offer students in Year 7/8 free music lessons in drums, bass guitar, guitar and piano with students learning in small ensemble groups.

Servant Leaders in Catholic Schools (SLiCS)

Every year, students in Year 7 & 8 can apply to represent the school at the Servant Leaders in Catholic Schools.  This is an opportunity to hear various ideas of how to facilitate and run liturgies, masses and other religious events.  This is a very important role for our school and requires students to lead various religious celebrations at Holy Cross School. Please contact Mr Carson for more information.
