Holy Cross College has been a cornerstone of quality Catholic education since 2010. Starting from humble beginnings, Holy Cross College has grown to become a thriving community with a double stream Primary School and six stream Secondary School on one campus in the heart of Ellenbrook.

The Assistant Principal 3-6 is a vital position within the Junior School Leadership Team. As Assistant Principal, you will demonstrate a clear understanding of the College Vision and integrate it into your daily practices, policy development, and collaborative work with teams to implement meaningful improvement strategies across our early learning community.

Our Junior School operates within a comprehensive leadership structure that supports our PK-12 community. The Assistant Principal 3-6 reports directly to the Head of Primary and works collaboratively with the Assistant Principal PK-2 and other key stakeholders. This role provides direct leadership, support and mentorship to teaching staff, fostering a cohesive and high-quality educational experience across Years 3-6.

A particularly significant aspect of this position is championing Religious Education and intervention initiatives across the Junior School while leading the Enrichment Pillar. In doing so, the Assistant Principal 3-6 plays a key role in ensuring that every child is known, supported and provided with the opportunities they need to flourish academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
