School celebrates confidence and uniqueness
ST PIUS X celebrated student identity, confidence and kindness during its recent term three pastoral care day.
Following last Friday’s theme of ‘This is Me,’ the day encouraged every student to explore and express their own uniqueness while promoting positive body image and self-esteem.
Through carefully planned activities across all year levels, students engaged in discussions and creative tasks that helped them reflect on their strengths, values and individuality.
From decorating self-portraits to making healthy body image posters, students embraced what makes them, and their peers, special.
During the afternoon, the school turned its focus to positive behaviour, with mixed-age groups collaborating to create short videos that model respectful, responsible and safe behaviour.
These student-created videos will now be used as learning tools throughout the year.
The day ended on a high note, with a spirited whole-school performance of ‘This is Me’ – a celebration of diversity, resilience and acceptance.
Staff and students alike contributed to a joyful, reflective day that captured the heart of the school’s values.
“St Pius X continues to champion a culture where every child is seen, heard and valued just as they are,” principal Nick Murrell said.
