Our playground was transformed for the evening, with fairy lights twinkling. The food, games, and stalls were a huge hit with the children, adding to the excitement and fun of the night. 

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing P & F for organising such a well-run and memorable event. Your commitment to building community and creating joyful moments for our families is truly appreciated.

We are so lucky to be part of such a vibrant and connected school community. Bring on the next one!

Assistant Principal Appraisal - A Note of Thanks

I’d like to sincerely thank all the parents and carers who have already taken the time to complete the Assistant Principal Appraisal survey, which was recently sent out by the Catholic Education Office.

This survey is part of a formal appraisal process that takes place every four years for Assistant Principals across the Diocese of Wollongong. It gathers feedback from staff, students, clergy, and families to support reflection, celebrate strengths, and identify areas for professional growth.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to me, both personally and professionally, and I truly appreciate your support.

If you haven’t had the chance to complete the survey yet, the window will remain open until Friday, 13 June 2025.

Thank you again for your time and contribution.

Christine Nunes

Thank You for Your Feedback

A big thank you to all the parents and carers who took the time to complete the Tell Them From Me survey. Your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us understand your perspectives and experiences, and it plays an important role in shaping our ongoing school improvement efforts.

The survey window has now closed, and we look forward to analysing the results in the coming weeks. We appreciate your partnership and continued support in making St Pius X a place where every student can thrive in faith, learning and wellbeing.

Congratulations to the St Pius X students who received the Sacrament of Confirmation this week at Immaculate Conception and St Therese parishes. These special celebrations were led by Bishop Brian Mascord, and we commend our students for taking this important step in their faith journey.

World Environment Day – Waste Free Wednesday Launch

To acknowledge World Environment Day on June 5, St Pius X proudly launched Waste Free Wednesday this week. Students were encouraged to bring a waste-free lunchbox, helping to reduce landfill and care for our common home. This initiative will continue each Wednesday, with students earning points for their house and class. Let’s work together to make a positive impact on our environment!
