Orientation Day

On Wednesday this week, we welcomed all new and existing students and parents for their Orientation. Students came to the College for the whole day (Year 7s) or part of the day (Junior School) where they experienced what life at Holy Cross College will be like. Parents also enjoyed the same experience through the College tours and parent sessions on offer.

Junior School students familiarised themselves with their new learning environments, met some of their teachers and began to interact with their peers.

Year 7 students focused on what senior school life will be like, acquainting themselves within the Paris building that will form their home base for classes. They sampled some of the subjects on offer at the College. This including some crazy science experiments, baking home style cookies, making clay bowls in art and finishing off with Performing Arts; where they played the ultimate Rock Paper Scissors, got to hear from students what Performing Arts is like at HCC and concluding with Just Dance, where they learnt the skill of ‘leaving embarrassment at the door’. During these fantastic mini-lessons they got to know their House Coordinators and Student Leader body.

Thank you to all the students and staff who gave up their time to act as mentors, College tour guides, crèche assistants and assisting in the many sessions for the day. We also thank the Friends of Holy Cross for their assistance with light refreshments and conversations with new and existing parents.

We look forward to all new students joining us in 2019, as they seize their opportunity to ‘live life to the full’ at the College.
