St Pius X College, Sydney
St Pius X College (abbreviated as Pius) is an independent Catholic primary and secondary day school for boys, located in Chatswood, a lower North Shore suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The school was established by the Congregation of Christian Brothers in 1937 and is operated under the auspices of Edmund Rice Education Australia. Oversight of the school is provided by the Catholic Education Office of the Diocese of Broken Bay. Located in the heart of the Chatswood central business district, the school is close to Westfield Shopping Centre and Chatswood railway station.
In 2005, the College was ranked 101st in New South Wales for the Higher School Certificate marks, up from 108th the previous year.[citation needed] More recently, in 2013, the school again improved its rank to 73. However, as of 2023 this rank has since fallen to 185th place. It is a member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA) and the Junior School Heads Association of Australia.
The college operates as two separate schools: the "Junior School" catering for boys in Years 5 and 6, and the "Senior School" catering for boys in Years 7 to 12.
St Pius X College started in 1937 as Christian Brothers Chatswood, initially going to the Beginner level, with the first Leaving Certificate class graduating in 1941.[citation needed]
St Pius X College used to be a coeducational school, partnered with Mercy College; however, during the 20th century the partnership ended and each school became single sex.[citation needed]
A major improvement in the 1990s was the development of Oxford Falls as an educational complex. Named the Treacy Centre, the facility comprises a variety of sports fields and venues as well as meeting places and classrooms. In the late 1990s the college undertook extensive renovations and rebuilding. Later, during the late 2000s a new building was erected. It included meeting rooms, stands and basketball courts and can facilitate stage plays (e.g. Pius Talent Show).[citation needed]
Fide et Labore is written on the shield, which is Latin for "By Faith and Labour". In 2011, John Couani became the first lay person to be principal of the school.[citation needed]
In 2013, the school implemented an E-Learning program, which provides students with personal learning devices across the school, using the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, then the Surface Pro 6, and later the Surface Pro 7 in 2021 and the Surface Laptop 5 in 2023. These computers act as learning aids and hold student text books.[citation needed]
