Wellbeing week rounded off in St. Pius with the boys recognising what makes us special and unique. Everyone has their own individual personality that makes them who they are – likes, dislikes, hobbies, and interests. In the words of Oscar Wilde – “Be yourself. Everyone else is taken!” Classes enjoyed participating in parachute games, bubbles, and an amazing wood turning …
Tuesday’s Wellbeing Week theme was ‘Positivity’. Being positive helps the boys to appreciate all the good things which we experience and be grateful for them – setbacks are only temporary!

Wellbeing Week kicked off this morning in St. Pius with the theme of ‘Friendship’. There was lots of discussion amongst the boys about what makes a good friend and how we can be a good friend to others. What better way to start Wellbeing Week than ‘clowning around’ practicing our circus skills and enjoying some Giant Games in the sun!
