St Pius treated us to a trip around the world. Officer Mafu stamped passports and St Pius students showed us four different countries. First we went to Japan, where we learnt about Noh masks, which are used in plays. Next we went to Italy, where we saw carnival masks. These masks are used at masquerades or balls to cover your face so that no one knows who you are! They are very beautiful and elegant masks, covered in sequins and glitter. Then we flew to Africa and found out about African masks, which are used at festivals and public events. These masks are complex, well constructed masks. Finally we went to North America and saw Native American Corn masks. These are made out of sweet corn leaves and celebrated the growing season and the harvest of the crops.
St Pius has done a fantastic job constructing all their masks, they are very impressive. Make sure you come and have a look at all the hard work!

Just wanted to say I found the expo an awesome example of collaboration between primary, intermediate and secondary schools.
I have access to over 500 schools and this is the first time I have come across a school-wide community working closely together, on the same theme - indeed a valuable learning experience for all involved.
