Retreats
Students and staff regularly have the opportunity to take part in residential retreats
to Kintbury – a De La Salle retreat centre in Berkshire. Faith, fun and friendship
makeup the “Kintbury experience.” It is a great time out and an opportunity to make
new friends while working in groups. It is chance to chill out as well as look at
your life and the important people in it. It is also a great way to experience God
with others and grow spiritually.
There may also be other, different retreat opportunities available from time
to time – contact the Chaplaincy team for the latest information.
Assemblies
Assemblies are an important part of the life of Holy Cross and give us the opportunity
to come together as a community. Assemblies are student focused and we welcome contributions
from all students. It is an ideal opportunity to share gifts and talents such as
music and dance, or perhaps the behind the scenes help with IT or sound and lighting,
or simply writing or reading a prayer or reflection. We have assemblies to mark
key times of year in the Christian calendar such as Advent-Christmas and Lent-Easter
as well as assemblies to celebrate our diversity such as One World Week. There is
also an assembly to welcome you to the Holy Cross community and one to end our year.
They are an important way to celebrate our shared values and vision at Holy Cross
which all staff and students are involved in.
