FRIENDS OF HOLY CROSS

New meeting times

It was wonderful to see so many new faces at our first morning meeting of the Friends of Holy Cross.  We have introduced the mid-term morning meeting as we appreciate that for many of our families evening meetings are problematic and hinder your opportunities to become involved in the Life of our amazing College. We will also be continuing with the evening meeting early each term to allow those who work to remain involved.

Meeting dates for the remainder of 2016 are:

➢ Monday 25th July 6.30pm

➢ Monday 29 August 9am

➢ Monday 17 October 6.30pm

➢ Monday 21 November 9am

Help needed

Friends of Holy Cross have an abundance of activities coming up that we are seeking your assistance with this term:

• Lifelink sleep out to be held on 9th -10th June – help needed with breakfast
• College production 16-18 June – help needed at the door and for intermission
• College Athletics Carnivals 20 July (Junior) and 21 July (Middle/ senior) sausage sizzles
• Quiz Night – seeking volunteers to help organise the quiz night

A form seeking volunteers has been sent home last week – please return this form ASAP.  We would greatly value your assistance

Other exciting events will also be occurring in Term 4

A big thank you to those who have assisted in many different ways this year from cross country sausage sizzles, open days, welcome night, raffles  etc

Parent Camino Salvado Pilgrimage Walks

The Friends of Holy Cross are currently planning the Parent Camino Salvado Pilgrimage walks for this year.

The first leg of the Pilgrimage walk will be held on Friday 24 June and will go from Subiaco to East Perth, an approximate 6 kilometre walk.  Letters regarding this walk have been sent home with students this week.

The second leg of the Pilgrimage walk is to be held on Tuesday 13 September and will go from East Perth to Guildford, an approximate 15 km walk. More information will be provided, but save the date for now.

Last years parent Camino Salvado Pilgrimage walk was a real highlight for those fortunate to be able to attend and we encourage all parents to join us on these pilgrimage walks, just as you encourage your students to be involved.

It is not necessary to do the various legs in a set order as we will be repeating the pilgrimage walk legs in coming years
