​
Arrivals and Dismissal Procedures
Holy Cross maintains strict protocols concerning the safety of children and members of our school community.  The attached document details safety expectation procedures relating to arrival & dismissal, entry & exit points for staff, students and carers.


​Holy Cross Glendale has an active and engaged P&F Association.  

​The P&F Association is a group of parents and school staff who  volunteer their time to discuss important issues that affect the school and to raise much needed funds.

The P&F are responsible for running the school canteen and organising fun, extra-curricular activities for the children who attend this school. Some examples are school discos, fun runs, Easter and Christmas raffles, Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day stalls amongst other initiatives. 
Fund raising efforts assist the school in the purchase of resources and equipment directly linked to supporting children.

Child Protection
Catholic schools in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle are committed to providing safe environments for students. Whilst we have a legal obligation to protect children, this commitment is central to our Catholic beliefs. At Holy Cross, we believe that all children have a right to a safe environment which is free from any form of abuse or harm. Further information can be found in the Parent Handbook.
