It was cause for celebration at Holy Cross Catholic Primary School, Mickleham, as one of the newest schools in the ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ of Melbourne was officially opened and blessed.

The school’s foundation principal, Mark Miatello, was joined by guests including Member for Yuroke the Hon. Ros Spence MP, Parish Priest Fr Varghese Kurisingal and City of Hume Cr Joseph Haweil. A smoking ceremony led by local Wurundjeri representative Stacey cleansed the land on which the school stands, ready for the 150 students who have begun their journey with the school this year.

‘As stated in the African proverb, it takes a village to raise a child’, said Mr Miatello. ‘Our students are blessed to be surrounded by a strong village here in Mickleham. When we all work together, great things can be achieved.’
