St Pius Banyo – Spring Fair 2026
St Pius V Primary School is proud to present its 4th Spring Fair. Held every two years, the event brings the school and wider community together for fun, showcases the hard work of students, and serves as the primary fundraising event for the Parents and Friends Committee, with funds going towards new infrastructure and educational materials.
All members of the St Pius V school community, along with the local community, are warmly invited to come along, connect, and celebrate together.
