From the Acting Deputy Principal

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

As we begin forming our habits of thinking and learning for Term 2 we will be looking to raise the standards of student language and expression both in the real and online 'worlds'.  This is very much in keeping with our Themes of “Stewards of Creation” and forming an “Inclusive Community”.

To this end please join us in supporting your sons by challenging any poor language, inappropriate or divisive expressions which may creep into their vernacular.  Equally, we will be challenging students to dispose appropriately of their rubbish around the school and yard. On too many occasions there is a habit of leaving it to others, and in doing so developing an unhealthy environment.

Thank you you for your support in the education of your sons in these matters.

Winter Uniform

Our young men return in Term 2 in full Winter Uniform. This includes the College blazer, shirt and tie, long grey pants with black belt and the College grey jumper for extra warmth, along with black or grey socks and black leather school shoes.

The College Uniform also includes the College Back Pack. The Sports Back Pack issued for sporting tours is NOT part of the College Uniform from Monday to Friday. It can be used on weekends or sporting tours.

In obtaining haircuts for your son, it must be an even grade and of a style and length unlikely to cause comment. Shaved sides with longer fringes hanging over the top and exaggerated parts are not permissible. Hair must be clean, tidy, gel-less and of natural colour.

These regulations are standard for all, ensuring your son’s own good self-discipline as we join together as one St Pius X community.

The College Rain Jacket can be purchased from the Uniform Shop. It is only to be worn on wet days and will easily fit over our boys' blazers in winter. It is not an alternative for the school jumper or blazer. It can be worn as part of the Uniform at Saturday Sport only. It is the only rain jacket to be worn on wet days. No other type of rain jackets are permitted.

As the mornings begin to cool our young men have been reminded they must only wear the correct College Uniform which includes the grey College jumper. This jumper can be purchased from the Uniform Shop with second hand jumpers also available at very reasonable prices. Hoodies of any types, including the College Sports Hoodies, are never to be worn as part of our College Uniform.

Thank you for reminding your son on leaving home in the mornings of these routine Uniform, Grooming and Hair regulations. We are very proud of our boys and certainly want them to feel the same pride in representing themselves, their families and their College.

Mr Sean Brannan - Acting Deputy Principal
