OUR VISION

Learning to Learn, Live and Love
 

OUR MISSION

In the Josephite Spirit we are:

• Learning to Learn by engaging in authentic learning experiences to build capacity and improve performance;
• Learning to Live by embracing life through right relationships with God, others, self and earth;
• Learning to Love by valuing and sharing our diversity through love, service and stewardship.

OUR MOTTO AND EMBLEM

Our school motto and emblem mirror both our history and faith. The school badge was designed by Brother Doran who, at the time, was living at the Christian Brothers' house at Stanwell Park. His design was the winning entry in a school competition in 1985, aimed at fostering school spirit.

The school emblem displays St Mary of the Cross MacKillop's insignia with the three J's representing Jesus, St Joseph and St John the Baptist. It is also a reminder of the Josephite Sisters, who were in charge of the school for many years. Sister Jane Ross, the last representative of the Sisters of St Joseph, left our school in 1986.

The blue and gold on the badge represent our school colours.

The school motto, 'The Peace of Christ Be With You,' was also a winning entry in a school competition and was submitted by a parishioner, Mrs Marian Campbell.

The students of Holy Cross school greet all teachers and visitors to the school with our motto.

OUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO COUNTRY

At Holy Cross we would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this land, the Dharawal people. We acknowledge this living culture and its unique role in the life of Australia today.
