Dear Parents and Carers,

A very warm welcome back to the final school term for all of our families.  It was wonderful to greet the children on Monday and I thank you for presenting them so well in their Summer Uniforms. Walking around the school I am impressed with the classroom routines in place and the commitment the children are showing to their learning. Our senior students have been outstanding role models on the playground  and I am grateful for their leadership.

I look forward to a wonderful term of learning and enjoying the many celebrations that the end of a school year brings. At present, I am working with Year Six parents on planning a fitting COVID safe farewell for our students and some fun activities to celebrate their end to primary school. As the term progresses I will communicate our end of year plans for the remainder of the students. Please be assured that the safety of our community will be paramount in my decision making around these events.

Last Sunday marked Mission Sunday, World Mission Day, or Mission Sunday, was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1926, to remind Catholics about their commitment and support to the missionary work of the Church through prayer and sacrifice. In his annual message the Pope states that the Covid-19 pandemic is an opportunity for mission and service to others. My hope is that we continue to work as a community at St Pius X Catholic Primary School, Unanderra  and reach out to those in need.

Yours Sincerely,

Pauline Chrostowski - Principal
