Congratulations to the Year 2 Mission Team who sold jelly cups, brownies, lolly bags, cupcakes, 2nd hand-books and toys. Together with the support of their families the 5 members of Ivy, Aweil, Kaira, Sophia and Angela raised over $200 for Catholic Charities.
Another wonderful act of strength and kindness.

Refugee Week – June 16-22
“Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you.” (Matt 2: 14)
At St Pius X School, we acknowledge that there are people from around the world who need a safe place to live and raise their family because they cannot return to their own country. So, we can show our support in helping refugees re-build their lives in Australia and celebrate the wonderful ways in which people from refugee backgrounds enrich our community. Currently there are many refugees arriving from Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, South Sudan, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Somalia. If you know of any families that require support, please contact the Australian Refugee Association (ARA) on 08 8354 2951 or email reception@ausref.net
