Principal's Message
Miss Erin Clayton
Tena Koutou Katoa
This week has been very wet with a lot of time spent indoors. It is clear to hear the winter coughs and colds are still with us as we move through the classrooms. Our advise is if you are sick stay home. If it is only your nose and a slight cough you are more than welcome to be at school. However winter illness pass on quickly, so stay home, get well and be ready to come back to school.
Enrolments for 2025: As you may be aware our school roll is growing and so is our waiting list. We currently have no spaces available this year and no spaces for years 1-5 next year but a waiting list of over 50 students. If you have a younger sibling turning five at the end of this year or the beginning of next year and want them to be at St Pius X please come and see Maree in the office ASAP. Also if you know that you are moving or changing school in the new year please come and tell us at the office as soon as you are able. It means we can give some certainty to those who are on the waitlist for the new year and to also give your child a proper farewell.
A heart felt thank you to everyone who was so respectful with the funeral on Monday, parking outside the carpark and turning circle at the Church and walking down the drive to collect your learners. We have the honour and privilege to be part of the Parish of St Pius X and when we can help it is most appreciated.
A quick reminder to please not use the driveway to school in the morning or afternoon. Drop off and pick up is at the Church carpark or the surrounding area. Our Driveway is also our pedestrian access to school and it is not safe having vehicles on the drive at these busy times. There are some people with known exceptions to this rule, if you feel you have a reason to be using the drive please come and discuss this with me in the office. Thank you.
