Thank You Danielle Chapman

There are a only a few people we come across in our lifetime who are part of a community and make such a huge impact on all of those around them.

Mrs Danielle Chapman is certainly one of these people.

Danielle, your passion and energy are unparalleled, and I respect your spirit of volunteerism immensely.

We are so very grateful to have had your help and leadership here at St Pius X. Thank you for being so selfless with us and for so many, in whose lives you make a tangible difference.

You always keep the students and their families at the centre of everything you do. The fundraisers, special food days, charity appeals and many, many more events you have organised and supported hold a special place in the memories of our students. Your time here will be cherished for many years to come.

We wish you all the very best and know that we will see you here next year in a different capacity but as the same you.
