Pius XII Catholic School Students Looking a Little Green

Posted on by admin

The students of Pius XII Catholic School are keen and green in keeping the planet, the environment and the school clean by undertaking major recycling efforts. “Our students believe the recycling is fun and it means they have to use their imagination in developing their ‘Al the Can Man’ projects,” states the school’s Vice-Principal, Carmela Pitman.

Students decorated a pop can or bottle using recyclable materials. They received certificates and recognition for their efforts in recycling, reducing and reusing.

Penguins Spotted at Pius XII Catholic School

Posted on by admin

It’s official! Pius XII Catholic students are now the PIUS PENGUINS. After many years of attempting to discover their identity, they have finally established it!

The FIRST EVER LOGO to be painted on the gym wall says it all!
As the students enter the gym for their daily physical activities, sports events and assemblies, they are faced with a beautiful, huge logo made up of a family of Penguins that covers the freshly painted gym wall. Watching over the family of Penguins is a symbol of their Catholic faith, the White dove, which represents peace and tranquillity for the Pius Penguin students and staff.

This message of peace and harmony embodies the motto that students, teachers, and staff live by each and every day.
