Year 8 Big Ideas: Grand Designs Revisited!

On Thursday of Week 8, a group of Year 8 students and staff travelled back to New Norcia for a wonderful morning of presentation and conversation. The students who took part had worked in groups to create outstanding examples of the 'Grand Designs' episodes that formed the basis of this year's Winter Term Big Ideas project. 

In what has become a lovely Holy Cross College tradition, the students who had produced the highest quality work enjoyed a special trip to New Norcia, where they showed their projects to the monastic community and enjoyed a delicious morning tea. This was a wonderful opportunity for the students to connect with the community and also to provide them with an authentic audience for their work.

Holy Cross College and New Norcia continue to enjoy a special relationship and visits such as this are a way for us to maintain that connection as the school grows. Thank you to Toni Tejada and the New Norcia community for making our visit such a pleasurable occasion and well done to the students on their beautiful work!
