Zumba Flash Mob
On April 27th a Zumba flash mob broke out at the Scotia Centre in downtown St. John's to celebrate National Dance Week. A number of our students took part, showing off the moves they have been working on as part of the regular lunchtime Zumba classes held here at Holy Cross.

Oil and Gas week
The Grade 8 students at Holy Cross have been participating in the Junior High Authentic Learning Program. The Canadian Association of Petrolium Producers awarded the school a $500.00 grant to allow our students to research careers in the Oil and Gas industry. As part of Oil and Gas week, a delegation from Holy Cross attended the opening ceremonies and presented their work to such figures as the Jerome Kennedy, Minister of Natural Resources, and Dennis O'Keefe, Mayor of St. John's. If you would like to see the work our students produced, click on the Oil and Gas Project Page link. Note: some of the files a bit large and may take some time to display. The files may also display best in an internet browser such as Google Chrome.
Late French Immersion
This year Holy Cross has been very pleased to be able to offer Late French Immersion (LFI). Since the program started, we have received many inquiries from parents about LFI. The Eastern School District has created a page answering many of these questions. Click here to visit the ESDNL LFI page.
