ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL NEWS
Exciting PB4L News
The students of St Pius X have many opportunities to be acknowledged for their behaviour, attitude and commitment to school life within our PB4L framework. Next term the PB4L team will be introducing an exciting new initiative to add to our list.
Beginning in Term 2 we will have a “House Token Reward” System for positive playground behaviour. This means that teachers will be on the lookout for children modeling exceptional playground behaviour such as including others in their games, using kind words, playing safely with equipment etc. Tokens will be handed out and students then place them into the “House Token boxes”. In Weeks 5 and 10 of each Term, we will count up the tokens. The winning house for those 5 weeks will get a special whole house colour reward!
Afternoon Dismissal change of procedures
Commencing Term 2 we will move back to our “normal” afternoon pre-COVID procedures. Please take note below where on the playground parents wait for their children. Remember to collect your youngest child first then any other children. Please be mindful that there are to be no children using the play equipment after school each afternoon in order to minimise the flow to dismissal and for the safety of all children.

Thank you for working with us in following our new afternoon procedures so that we are able to maintain the safety of our children.
Autism Awareness Day - Our inclusive garden.
Some days you can feel in your heart just how special our community is.
Last Friday was one of those days, when the staff and students of St Pius X celebrated "Autism Awareness Day". We dressed in multi colours to celebrate all the colours on the spectrum, learnt about Autism and worked together to create an inclusive garden. Together we celebrated our differences and all the things we have in common.
What a beautiful, heartfelt day we all had.
