We are so proud of our Library Assistant, Catherine Kelly, who recently returned to Masaka, Uganda, during our Year of Compassion.

Catherine raised money to sponsor Racheal (12) who now has access to education, stationery, and daily meals.

She also completed a marathon through rural Uganda!
So proud of Grace Robinson from Upper Sixth, who’s on the prestigious British Geological Survey summer internship.

She's spending 6 weeks at BGS headquarters in Nottinghamshire, gaining real-world experience in volcanology, her chosen career path 🌋

Only four UK students are accepted each year 👏

#TeamPurple 💜 We honoured the memory of a former Holy Cross student who tragically passed away from epilepsy just weeks after finishing her studies.

Her family has since been working to raise awareness about SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) to help prevent unnecessary tragedies.
On the eighth anniversary of the Manchester Arena attack, our thoughts are with those who lost their lives, and family members, friends and loved ones whose lives changed forever ❤️🐝

Everyone is welcome in our Chapel at any time throughout today for personal reflection, prayer and to light a candle.
Well done to Sam from Learning Support who braved the shave to raise money for @littleprincesses.bsky.social at lunchtime today 🪒

Sam - you're our resident Super Hairo!

We're coming together as a college community this week to mark #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 🧠 and here's what's on across campus.

This year's theme for #MHAW is 'community'. Positive communities support our #mentalhealth by giving us a sense of belonging, connection and purpose 💜

Congratulations to Finlay Pope from Upper Sixth, who took home a bronze medal at the 2025 Aquatics GB Swimming Championships.

His achievement – hitting the wall in the Men’s 200m Backstroke Junior Final in a PB of 2:02.25 – makes him the fastest 18-year-old in the UK in this event.

We mourn the passing of Pope Francis as a College community 🕯️

Our vision of education at Holy Cross – Think Well, Feel Well, Do Well – is inspired by his address at the Church for Schools Day in 2015.

In our mourning, we give thanks for his life, his leadership, and his legacy.
