At Holy Cross School, staff and students work extremely hard to truly embed our school charism, ‘The Holy Cross Way’, into every facet of our learning and lives, both at school and beyond.

In 2018, whilst unpacking Relationships and Community, we introduced a before -school initiative entitled, ‘The Zones’ providing a daily opportunity to embrace both important components.

As a quick refresher for families, and information for those who are new, arrangements for student supervision before school is as follows:

• • NO SUPERVISION is available prior to 8:10am;
  • Students arriving at school before 8:10am MUST be enrolled in Before School Care (Contact OSHC: Mobile: 0410 629 096), email: oshc.trinitypk@ccelc.catholic.org.au; 
  • Between the 8:10am bell and the bell to mark the start of the school day, students should first drop their belongings off at their class bag rack, then proceed to a ‘ZONE’ of their choice where they will remain until school begins; and,
  • Students are NOT permitted to play tiggy or other games that involve running around during this time.

Zones and activities are as follows:

All zones are multi-age and multi-ability to promote respect, inclusion, acceptance, and tolerance. Teachers actively supervise the students in each zone, and assist with the strengthening of leadership and friendships across all year levels.

Our students benefit immensely from this program, setting them up in a positive and appropriate manner to commence learning upon entering their classroom. It is the expectation that all our students follow rules and procedures whilst at school. Students deemed not to be following the school rule, 'Right Place Right Time' or behaving in a disrespectful manner whilst in their zone, will receive a consequence.

If you have any concerns or queries, please do not hesitate to contact myself or any other member of the Leadership Team.
