Student Council
Holy Cross has a functioning Student Council whose role is to organize school events, including: dances, spirit days, fundraisers, orientation days, grade retreats, the Terry Fox Run, the pep rally, the honour role celebration and graduation. The Head Boy and Head Girl attend Student Senate meetings, which are held bi-weekly with members from other Student Councils in the Kingston area. At these meetings, each Student Council presents a report on activities underway at the school, as well as the educational wellbeing of their respective school. The Holy Cross Student Council also maintains a facebook page to keep students informed.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or council:
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“Parental attitudes have greater correlation with pupil achievement than material home circumstances or variations in school and classroom organization, instructional materials, and particular teaching practices.”
—Children and Their Primary Schools, vol. 1, ch. 3, Central Advisory Council for Education, London (1967)
