40th Annual Snowy Hike
The 40th Annual Snowy Hike set off during the past week. The 12 staff and 62 students went on a bus towards Guthega where they broke into small groups to minimise impact on the Alpine Environment before heading into the High Country.
Road to Bethlehem Liturgy
St Pius X College, Mercy Catholic College and youth ministry students from St Leo's Catholic College celebrated the beginning of Advent in a spectacular liturgy on Monday 4 December. The yard of St Pius X College was transformed into the Holy City of Bethlehem over 2000 years ago. To give life to the wonderful story of the birth of Christ, the entire Nativity story was acted out with great sincerity and care by students and staff from Mercy College and St Pius X. The story of the birth of Christ, the adoration of the Magi and the Shepherds were realistically re-created in the yard using elaborate costumes and decorations, a panoramic theatrical experience, and the presence of real camels, a donkey and goats supplied by a farm in the Hunter Valley. Held in the presence of the Parish Priest Father David Ranson as well as other clergy, the pageant was a vivid representation of the Nativity story, urging all to remember the real reason behind Christmas.
Student Submissions
When we conceived the idea of a Student Voice page our primary focus was on allowing our fellow students to showcase and share their word. In this regard, we have created a ‘Student Submissions’ form, so if you wish to showcase your work in relation to the school and our greater community please find the link below:
