Term Two has seen the staff at St Pius X continue to focus on the mantra that every student can be successful and experience continual growth in faith, learning and well-being. This is characterised by a culture of high expectations in the delivery of curriculum and a community that is authentically Catholic in its values.

This year a focus on contemporary prayer experiences has seen the students use Christian mediation as a tool to be still and reflective. The impact of this is evident with a sense of calm across the school. Teachers have also been working hard to develop quality assessment tasks to ensure students reach their full potential and are challenged in their learning. It has been so pleasing to read the Semester Two reports and see the growth individual students have made in their learning.  

I will be taking a period of Long Service Leave from Tuesday 13^th June until the remainder of the term. I am pleased to announce that Mrs Christine Nunes will act in the capacity of Principal during this time and Ms Louise Sartor, Acting Assistant Principal. Please do not hesitate to make contact with Mrs Nunes or Ms Sartor if you have any concerns during this time.

Please keep in mind our Confirmation candidates who prepare to receive this special sacrament, sealing them with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Candidates participated in a weekend retreat day and we look forward to the ceremonies next week. In the words of Pope Francis

“Confirmation strengthens us to spread the Gospel courageously”
