Online Liturgy

 

On Friday 20 August most of the St. Pius X Catholic School gathered online for a liturgy to celebrate the Feast Day of St. Pius X our patron saint. I was leading the liturgy with the support of Leitupo and Amihuti. It was great to see so many of our senior students and the teachers. It is different but we managed to do our liturgy online.  Francis

TEXT: PRIME MINISTER, JACINDA 'S SPEECH AT THE DAWN RAID APOLOGY 

I WROTE A LETTER TO THE PRIME MINISTER IN RESPONSE TO HER SPEECH/APOLOGY

Dear Prime Minister Ardern

My name is Josaia and I am a year 7 student at St Pius X school in Glen Innes. I thank you for that wonderful speech you gave about the Dawn Raids. You have so much courage to speak out about the mistakes the government made nearly 50 years ago.   Some of our Pacific people were treated differently. Police officers judged our people for the way they looked. 

Some people were mentally damaged and traumatised because of these experiences. The fear and uncertainty they faced during the Dawn Raid is still clear in their mind today. I felt sad for them.

I like to thank you for the compensation you made towards Pacific Island communities. Thank you for the scholarships. I hope I can get a chance on it.
