24.01.2022 Tuning in means being aware of what is happening within you, and in the world around you. Being present by tuning in has been shown to help build self-awareness, help make effective choices, reduce the impact of worry, and build positive connections. You can tune in to many things: Tune in to yourself What can you sense right now? What can you feel? Tune in to others What might people around you be feeling? How can we connect?... Tune in to your communities What is happening that you can be part of, or that you can help others be part of? Tune in to stigma How do attitudes and understandings of mental health and wellbeing impact on people’s ability to live the lives they want? How can we help?

21.01.2022 Today was a very special day. Miss Sullivan, Miss Smith & I (Mrs Hawthorne) visited the homes of our new Kindergarten children and handed out very special bags full of fun activities, letters and special treasures. We met quite a few parents and children and hope that those we missed found their special packages waiting for them at their front doors. We were even lucky enough to be left a special surprise from Stevie (Yum) and a beautiful drawing from Emma. We can't wait to see you all at Holy Cross very soon.

19.01.2022 The last 2 weeks have been tough for everyone. Families, teachers, staff. But amidst all the confusion and chaos, HCG has been fortunate to be truly inspired by Noah, one of our Year 6 leaders. Not only has Noah continued his own learning successfully, he has provided staff with professional development in IT, he’s rung the bell, attended to younger children and managed everything with a gracious smile. The staff and families thank you, Noah. You’re the perfect example of how to ‘make Jesus real’ across our school community.
