Formation of Classes for 2023
The process of forming classes for 2023 has commenced. St Pius X, as a result of an upward trend in enrolments will again be in a position to offer 13 classes. This means there will be two classes in each year, with the exception of Year Five 2023 who will remain as a standard size group of twenty-six.
Teachers have a very good understanding of their students, their learning, and their social and academic needs and strengths. They spend significant time considering the placement of each student and their individual needs as they transition to the next year.
Included with this newsletter is the St Pius X formation of classes policy. Please take time to read the policy as it will provide you with an understanding of the process.
At times, there may be extenuating circumstances where parents may make a request regarding their child transitioning to the next year. Please note that it is not appropriate to make a request for your child to be with their friends or your preferred teacher. Teachers will ensure your child is placed with a friend.
If you have any concerns regarding 2023 classes, could they kindly be addressed in writing to the Principal by Friday 12 November.
Whilst parental requests are considered, there is never a guarantee that they will be granted. Please be aware that there may be circumstances surrounding requests that prevent them from being granted.
World Teachers’ Day
On Friday 28 October, Australia celebrated World Teachers' Day. The theme for World Teachers' Day 2022 was, “The transformation of education begins with teachers”. A big thank you to the Parents and Friends association who organised a special lunch for our teachers.
Afternoon Dismissal
Can we kindly ask that if your child is being collected by someone other than a Parent / Guardian or emergency contact that an email is sent to the office. If this is an ongoing arrangement, please state this in the email. The safety of our children is our key priority and we thank you for your understanding in this matter.
SPX Special Event Blazers
We have purchased four SPX BLAZERS to be worn on special occasions when our students are at events representing St Pius X.
How wonderful do they look!!!
School Disco
Our school disco will be held on THURSDAY 17th November details will be sent out to students in a note.
