St Pius X College (often referred to as Pius) is an independent, Roman Catholic, secondary day school for boys, located in Chatswood, a North Shore suburb of Sydney, Australia.
Located in the heart of the Chatswood central business district, the school is relatively close to Westfield Shopping Centre and Chatswood railway station. It is operated under the auspices of the Trustees of the Christian Brothers and is situated within the borders of the Catholic Diocese of Broken Bay which is under the leadership of Bishop David Walker. The College was ranked 101st in the State for the 2005 Higher School Certificate marks, up from 108th the previous year. More recently, in 2013, the school again improved its rank to 73. It is a member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA).
The College operates as two separate schools: "The Junior School" catering for boys in Years 5 and 6, "The Senior School" catering for boys in Years 7 to 12.
The College has also recently implemented an E-Learning program, which provides students with Personal Learning Devices, specifically for the younger years the Lenovo Thinkpad 10 and the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 for the senior years. These computers act as learning aids and hold student text books.
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.
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 a number of meeting places and classrooms. In the late 1990s the College undertook extensive renovations and rebuilding.
