At the beginning of July the Ministry of Education requires predictions of school enrolments for 2010 to enable them to allot staffing entitlements.  If you have a preschooler due to begin at St Pius X during the remainder of this year or in 2010 please contact the school office as soon as possible to ensure we have their details on our records.  We do have a small number of vacancies, so if you know anyone who is thinking about St Pius as a school for their children ask them to ring for an appointment to meet with me.
