Welcoming ceremony

As the guests arrived it felt like the day was holding its breath because it went dead silent. 
As we began our prayer I was nervous because I had a part in the ceremony. When it was my turn to
speak I felt relaxed and ready. As I read my first line I felt relieved because I was at the perfect volume
and I was reading perfectly. 

Then there were the welcomings. The welcomings were like music to your ears. They were going
perfect until Josaia messed up. Even though he failed and kept on going. Just like when you fall you
get back up again. Everything was going great.

When we sang “Mo Maria” it was like you were in Heaven. I also felt surprised when one of the
principals came from the other St Pius X school. One of the most surprising things was that they
came from different parts of New Zealand. I thought they were all from Auckland but I was wrong.

This was one of St Pius X’s most exciting day of 2020 because all of the catholic principals were
very impressed with our learning and our new school building.
