Welcome back
Welcome back to all students. We have had a positive start to Term 3. A reminder that blazers are to be worn to and from the College and to homeroom. If a student does not have their blazer a note in the diary or email to their Pastoral Leader is required.
Congratulations to all the students who represented the College on tours druing the holidays. I look forward to a rewarding term ahead.

Year 12 2025 Student Leadership Team
Over the coming weeks Year 11 students and staff will be invited to register their input for the discernment of our Student Leadership Team 2025. Year 12 will commence their HSC Trial examinations in two weeks followed by retreats and the conclusion of their HSC courses later in the term. Year 11 students will therefore take up the mantle of leadership of the college beginning with our Student Leadership Camp on Monday 26 – Wednesday 28 August.
Push ups for Mental Health
Together in 2024, all participants in the country have done more than 260 million push-ups. Through our mighty efforts combined, we’ve raised over $10.5 million to help Lifeline, Headspace and The Push For Better Foundation continue to deliver much-needed mental health awareness, programs and crisis support across Australia.
St Pius X did a combined 29,903 push ups in June. Congratulations to all involved.
