Xavier's Gender Ground Rules Part 2.
The Celebration Of Soul Friends Mass, Saint Patrick's Day and Ash Wednesday.
On the 17th of March 2021 Saint Pius X had a very special mass. This mass was special because we celebrated three important occasions for our school. They are, St Patrick's Day, Soul Friends and Ash Wednesday. As we journey in the fourth week of lent, today we honour St. Patrick who is the patron saint of Irish people and the Holy Faith Sisters who started our school, more than sixty years ago, who were from Ireland. They Brought with them the beautiful idea of Soul Friends.
In the early Irish Church people chose someone wise to be their soul friend. This friend is a person they can talk to and share their experiences in life. It was introduced to us by the Holy Faith Sisters who started St. Pius X School more than 60 years ago. It is a beautiful relationship, where the older students look out for the younger and vice versa.
We had our Ash Wednesday ashes today because lock down has been happening a lot in Auckland, New Zealand.
St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland because he was the chosen one of God.
Here below is a picture of the whole school sharing lunch with their Soul Friend.

Xavier's Pablo Picasso Art-Cubism Drawing 1.
Yesterday, the 9th of March Te Wairua Pakiki 4 (TWP 4) did some art that is based on Pablo Picasso's cubism art. Pablo Picasso is a Spanish Artist, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist and stage designer. He was considered one of the greatest and most influential artist of the 20th century.
In cubism you can play around with lots of shapes. The facial features like your eyes, nose, mouth and ears can be different shapes and places. Our teacher said '' Cubism is that it looks as if painting dropped and cracked, and was rearranged when put back together''.
When we looked at the pictures we noticed that the mouth, nose, ears and eyes were in different spaces and it was different colours. After our teacher demonstrated and we saw lots of examples it was our turn to draw.
Step 1. In pencil, draw your head, any shape will work. You can use a mirror or draw from your imagination.
Step 2. Add your facial features, eyes, nose, mouth, etc. Try to use shapes you noticed in your discussion.
