Principals Group around N.Z visit SPX

           

Thursday 12 March 2020, we were very fortunate to have Catholic Principals group from
all over N.Z come and visit us. They meet every term and visit the schools from all over Aotearoa.
This term they really wanted to visit our new flash building and the students that attend our school.
We couldn’t wait to share our learning spaces with them and show that we deserve this space.  

We started with a welcoming liturgy. We had prayers then we had welcoming speeches in Maori,
Samoan, Fijian, Tongan & English. We sang “Mo Maria”, our theme song & “Faith, Hope & Love”.
All the principals introduced themselves and where they came from, Some principals came from
Wellington and two of them came from Christchurch. They all felt welcomed and excited to witness
our brand new school.

When we returned to the learning spaces, we straight away got on with our maths. We were trying to
not joke around but someone just kept singing. Some principals thought we were cheating because
we were looking at the answers, but really we were marking our number of the day. We all made a
joke of it and laughed until they left. The rest of the time we were trying to solve questions on a site
called “Maths is Fun”.

This was the most exciting moment for Saint Pius X Catholic School. Hopefully, they will share their
memories of us with their different schools.
