Welcome!
A warm welcome to all members of our community from our Pastoral Coordinators, Counsellors, and Pastoral Care Teams. It is great to see so many smiling faces of students and relieved parents as students both begin and continue their Pastoral Care journey and story through the College.
Every year at school is a busy year that offers challenges and opportunities. I summon each student to take on the challenges to create opportunities to flourish here at St Pius X College.
Student Absences
