We provide a wide range of student leadership opportunities, fostering self-confidence and cultivating active participation in the community.
Our students have the privilege of accessing a wide array of student leadership opportunities throughout their time at the College. These opportunities encompass a spectrum of roles, ranging from formal positions such as Captains, House Leaders and LIFE Leaders, to more informal opportunities during daily life around Campus.
We wholeheartedly encourage all our students to explore and embrace these leadership experiences. We firmly believe that these opportunities not only nurture self-awareness, self-confidence and the potential of individuals, but also have the power to create a meaningful and positive impact within our community.
Every leadership opportunity at Holy Cross holds a unique role within our campus, yet all student leaders are united by a shared set of core values:
- Demonstrate Gospel values in all they do
- Lead and serve the College Community through word and action
- Are trustworthy, responsible and supportive of the College’s vision and mission
- Contribute actively to community life
- Uphold established traditions, while also innovating to enrich College life
- Inspire, motivate and foster collaboration among students
- Radiate positivity and enthusiasm
- Serve as commendable representatives of the College in the wider community
