Classrooms
There are thirteen modern air-conditioned classrooms at Holy Cross Catholic School. The school also has a dedicated Music Room and Japanese Room where the students experience lessons with a specialist teacher.
Playground
There are two main playground areas at Holy Cross Catholic School. The upper playground level is a large asphalt area that has two full-sized basketball courts, handball courts, a passive deck area and a large space covered by shade sails.
The lower playground is grassed and provides a space for students to be active and play with a range of sporting equipment. There is also an area with playground equipment that includes slides and equipment for climbing and balancing. In addition we have a large sandpit for students K-2.
There is a covered amphitheatre on the lower playground that provides a space for all students to eat and to play quietly during their breaks.
Library (Learning and Resource Centre)
Our Holy Cross Catholic School library holds an extensive selection of books and learning resources for students to borrow. Students attend a library lesson each week with the school librarian and can also access the library during their lunch hour or with their class teachers when the library is available.
Oasis
At Holy Cross students have access to ‘The Oasis’. The Oasis is a quiet space where students can go when they need some quiet and relaxation. The room provides a range of sensory calming experiences to ensure wellbeing. The Oasis has teacher supervision each lunch and is an area that is used to facilitate social emotional skill development.
Digital Enablement (ICLT)

All classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards, Vivi technology, iPads, Chromebooks, Coding and Robotics equipment to promote digital enablement for all students.
