Values and vision
Holy Cross stands for a rich Catholic tradition, based on the Gospels and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The school endeavours to serve the needs of the whole school community, and in particular acknowledges the needs of those who are disadvantaged.
Holy Cross recognises the importance of developing the potential of each person “in justice and equality”, and strives to educate all pupils as a “whole person”, made in the image of God. The school believes in the pursuit of excellence, not only in academic studies, but in everything that pupils do.
