Holy Cross College

Holy Cross College is a vibrant, future-focused, co-educational Catholic school located in Ellenbrook, the regional hub of the rapidly expanding northern-eastern corridor of Perth. Opening in 2010, the College has grown to include enrolments from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12.

Families love that education at Holy Cross College is future-focused, engaging and challenging. We understand that students are learning in a constantly changing world and need to be agile thinkers, equipped with the skills to thrive and confidently embrace their future. As you walk through our beautiful, intentionally-designed campus, you’ll see how our flexible workspaces have been thoughtfully planned to enable staff to efficiently adapt to student needs. State-of-the-art digital technology is embedded in all areas of the school, enhancing students’ learning experiences. Outside, across our expansive grounds, they have the space to grow in our magnificent, green outdoor areas.

Learning at Holy Cross College challenges each student to reach their full potential through a personalised and supportive learning environment that values individuality. To meet the ever-changing demands of the modern world, students require sound problem-solving skills, a capacity to be innovative and creative, and an ability to adapt to changes. To ensure our students graduate with an entrepreneurial edge, the College has constructed its vision for learning around the new pedagogies for deep learning and the Six C’s: character education, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking.

As an Apple Distinguished School, Holy Cross College is committed to integrating creative, innovative solutions that enhance learning and promote educational excellence. Our continual investment in technology allows us to provide tailored learning experiences to meet the needs of individual students, while also teaching safe and responsible use of technology from a young age.

Though we are diverse in our cultures, our strong Catholic identity is embedded into everyday life at the College. Our Vision is to be ‘a place of transformation in the spirit of the Risen Christ’. We take inspiration from our College patron, Blessed Oscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador in El Salvador, whose deep faith in Jesus Christ led to his martyrdom as he became ‘the voice for the voiceless poor’. Our unique character is shaped by our culture, stories and traditions, which we communicate through our distinctively Catholic values, rituals and practices. We uphold our Catholic identity and charism in the hope that it will continue to flourish and endure for generations to come.

We believe that a great school is built on the foundation of its community. Holy Cross College partners with families to provide opportunities and support for every student to achieve their best, unlocking infinite possibilities for their future. Pastoral care is at the core of our integrated Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 learning community, which ensures that every student is known and nurtured, learning compassion and respect for others.
