LEADERSHIP TEAMS
Student Leadership Team
The Student Leadership Team is a group of students who help organize various events that benefit the Student Body. The team works together to plan school wide events in order to enhance the high school experience for all, collaborating with both students and teachers to coordinate and implement initiatives. The team aims to share their leadership experience not only with its members, but every Holy Cross student– shaping leaders and leaving a positive impact.
Web Team
Webteam is a group of students in grades 8-12 who are interested in media, tech, and promotions around Holy Cross. They cover all school events via photography and videography, as well as recaps posted on their Instagram @crusaderconnect. Within Webteam, there are eight departments that each have their own set of responsibilities: Video editing, Social Media/Graphics, Photography, Videography, Content Creation, Livestream/Tech Crew, HC News, and Communications. Through the combined power of all these departments, Webteam makes sure to keep the school community up to date with all Holy Cross-related affairs via social media, newsletters, and school news.
Music Student Leadership
The Music Student Leadership Team (MSL) is a student-led organization dedicated to the success of the school's various music events.

Athletics Media Leadership
The Athletic Media Leadership Team (AML) is a selected group of Gr 11 and 12 students who are interested in building school spirit and engaging the student body in athletic events. They take pride in planning and executing various events surrounding the athletic program. These events include: homecoming week, BC Catholics week, spirit days, pep rallies, dances, banquets as well as updating and running our social media accounts. The AML Team also designs, promotes and sells Holy Cross Athletic gear. Each year they get to build and promote a new clothing line for sale through an online store.
Campus Ministry Leadership Team
The Campus Ministry Team is a student-run leadership group aimed to provide the student body with more opportunity to experience the richness of the Catholic faith on a day to day basis. The three main ministries for this group are prayer, discernment, and outreach. They host morning prayer in the school chapel at 8:15 every day and have a group of dedicated musicians to lead worship. They put together a school-wide Eucharistic Adoration twice a year, during Advent and Lent, in conjunction with confession, to assist the student body in encountering Christ's limitless mercy. They also assist in the subsequent Advent and Lenten prayer service in the school gymnasium. Once per month, they organize a backpack run, serving the people who are homeless in the Downtown Eastside; they purchase their own materials to make around 150 sandwiches and hand them out to the community in need. The student body is encouraged to attend our daily morning prayer and serve with us on our monthly backpack runs.
CLUBS
HCBC
The Holy Cross Business Club (HCBC) is the student-led leadership team of the Business Program. Composed of grades 10-12, HCBC works towards furthering business education by focusing on developing transferable leadership and entrepreneurial skills, while educating others on financial literacy.

Baking Club
The baking club’s main focus is bringing students together through baking while giving back to our school. We bake a variety of treats, and sell them to Holy Cross students, turning something creative and fun into a meaningful contribution. All of the profits go toward the school’s new building, helping create a better and more productive learning environment for future generations. Beyond baking and fundraising, we meet twice a month to build our skills and community, where members share baking tips, learn new techniques, and support each other’s growth as bakers.
