History
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.
"Fide et Labore" is written on the shield, which is Latin for "By Faith and Work". The current principal is Mr John Couani, the first non-Brother to be principal.
