They work at the student and teacher level to help organize and coordinate events. They look forward to sharing their leadership experience when they leave the school to better be engaged with the greater community.

They work with the student body as well as the staff to make sure that events go smoothly within the building. Outside of the school the students are involved in various events in the Metro Vancouver area.
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.
