Exceptional educators at Holy Cross provide quality teaching and are well resourced in terms of equipment and support personnel. Holy Cross provides learning support services and special needs programs, including access to specialists in psychology, occupational therapy, and speech pathology.
Providing a meaningful and inclusive learning program, Holy Cross caters for the intellectual, spiritual, emotional, social, and physical dimensions of each student. It fosters the wellbeing of all students and other members within its school community so that each person is “empowered and challenged to become lifelong learners with optimism and hope for the future”.
Holy Cross aims to provide a fully inclusive mainstream learning environment that reflects the principles of the Disability Discrimination Act (1992) and the Disability Standards for Education (2005). All students are included in the activities of the school community and given opportunities and responsibilities that recognise their value to the community and provide positive learning and social experiences. Our commitment to the practices of purposeful inclusion reflects the Gospel values of respect, equality, and social justice. Within a Christian framework, we provide a learning environment that is supportive and responsive to individual needs and differences and that recognises and celebrates the individual student’s abilities and strengths.
