From Anthony Pryzibilla - School Board
Traffic Management around School
The school received correspondence from Port Adelaide Enfield (PAE) council regarding proposed traffic changes in surrounding suburbs which includes changes to roads around the school. This includes a proposal to make the below roads one-way
- Hillburn Ave (between Windsor Grove and Cookes Road) Westbound
- Acton Ave Eastbound
The school now can provide feedback and the final decision will depend on feedback from all residents on the streets impacted.
PAE council will advise us of the final outcomes later this year however we see the proposed changes as a strategy to improve traffic flow around the school and create a safer environment for students and families.
School Development
Construction will continue throughout the year and ongoing scheduling is occurring between the builders and the school to reduce impact to students and maximise the school holiday periods.
The temporary new garden and lawn area will soon be finalised and children will have an opportunity soon to contribute ideas to the future new playground area.
60th Anniversary Celebrations
The Board encourages families to attend any of these where possible to celebrate the anniversary
- School picnic
- School concert
- Anniversary dinner
- Anniversary Mass
Finance Report
Krupka Foundation continues to support many families through school fee relief and recently the Fund trustees met to determine recipients for that support.
This support stems from a former teacher, Margo Krupka, who passed away in 1992 and established a Trust Fund to support students at St Pius X and many families have benefited.
2021 Annual Compliance Report
The report which is an annual Commonwealth government requirement, was reviewed which is accessible via the school website and highlights the school performance in attendance, NAPLAN results, survey results and financial position amongst others.
School Uniform Transition
2022 is the last of the 3 year transition to the new active wear uniform and a final transition plan is being developed for families in situations where this is still not possible.
