I warmly welcome you to the Holy Cross website. It is my hope that this website provides you with useful information and extends an invitation for you to become a part of our wonderful school community.
Holy Cross is a K-6, co-educational, Catholic, primary school, located in Bondi Junction/ Woollahra, catering for 313 children.
In keeping with the special identity of Catherine McAuley, the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, we work in partnership with parents to offer a quality, Catholic education built on the beliefs and traditions of the Sisters which embody the values of compassion, love, justice, mutual respect and care for all.
We aim to nurture a child’s faith experience, to recognise and cater for individual needs, and to develop special talents, whilst challenging each child to grow, adapt and positively contribute to our community of learners who build, restore and maintain healthy relationships.
