Welcome to St Pius X College, Chatswood.  As the new College Principal from 2011 it is a great honour and privilege to lead the College as its first lay Principal.  The foundations of the College laid by the Christian Brothers continue today in all aspects of the Catholic life of the school in the Edmund Rice tradition.  The College provides quality Catholic education and much is expected of the students, staff and parents.

On the occasion of the Blessing and Opening of the Christian Brothers’ Centre at Oxford Falls on 26 November last year, I expressed my appreciation and gratitude to the Brothers who have founded this magnificent College and now leave a legacy in leadership that we must preserve and develop.  On that day I spoke directly to the students and staff about the expectations of the College and that I have of them.

“I expect from every student that you represent the College with pride and energy.  You wear the uniform with pride and compete and represent the College on the sporting field and in the performing arts by making the best use of your God given talents.  This is your responsibility.  Sportsmanship, acceptance of others, school spirit and a generous hospitality to all visitors from other schools is our marker.

We study hard, train hard, rehearse well, compete with vigour, we play and perform with true spirit, we give of our best.  We are fair.  We conduct ourselves with respect for ourselves and for others.  We don't use bad language, we don't bully and we don't put others down.  This is our responsibility.  We will take care of this environment which we have been given by previous generations and we, like those other generations before us, will build upon this for future generations.”

St Pius X College is a dynamic, contemporary learning community where boys develop and grow in a safe and happy Catholic environment.
