From The Assistant Principal

The first few days of the school year have been very busy and from our perspective, very successful. Congratulations to everyone on such a great start to the year – especially to our amazing staff who were ready with wonderful learning opportunities planned for the children and our fabulous parents who had their children ready for school.

Thank you for such a smooth start to the school year. 

In order to maintain this positive start we again highlight the importance of regular school attendance for students.  Thank you to our parents for the support and value that you place on your child being at school each day. 

“ATTENDANCE - EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY COUNTS”

Safer Internet Day

Tuesday 7 February, marks Safer Internet Day. Throughout the next few weeks students at St Pius X will be revisiting ways to keep themselves safe online and engage in activities to learn about the importance of playing it safe and fair online. During these sessions teachers will walk students through establishing clear rules and expectations for using the iPads as an effective learning tool. 

The eSafety Commissioner is offering a series of free parent webinars across the year. The term 1 webinar offers tips for parents about how to socialise, learn and have fun online safely. You can access more information about the webinars here.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE ST PIUS X PARENT HANDBOOK

If a student is riding a bike to school or walking without a parent, permission needs to be sought from the Principal / Assistant Principal. 

It is imperative that all parking and traffic regulations be observed when in the vicinity of the school.
