St Pius X School

Welcome to St Pius X School, located in the picturesque suburb of Melville in Hamilton, New Zealand. Our school is nestled behind the Church in a serene back section with beautiful grounds, providing a peaceful and conducive learning environment for our students.

Established in 1958 by the Mission Sisters, St Pius X School is a Catholic institution that caters to both boys and girls from New Entrants through to Year 8. With a maximum roll of 200, our school has gained a reputation as a country school in the heart of the city.

One of the highlights of our school is its multicultural makeup, with at least 14 different cultures represented within our student body. We take pride in fostering a diverse and inclusive community, where students can learn from and appreciate different perspectives and experiences. Our experienced staff also ensure that our English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program is of excellent quality, supporting students from non-English speaking backgrounds.

At St Pius X School, we prioritize building a strong sense of community. Our dedicated staff members know each and every student personally, creating a nurturing and supportive environment. We regularly organize whole school activities such as singing, prayer assemblies, and fitness sessions, further strengthening the bond between students and staff.

We value the involvement of parents and parishioners in our school community and encourage their active participation whenever possible. As a Catholic institution, we start each day with prayer, and our Religious Education program is taught from Years 1 to 8. The Gospel values and the principles of our Founding Order are deeply embedded in our curriculum, ensuring that our students develop a strong moral compass and a sense of compassion towards others.

Our mission statement, "To learn love, To Learn Wisdom, The Way We Are," encapsulates our commitment to providing a holistic education that nurtures the academic, spiritual, and personal growth of our students. If you are considering enrolling your child at St Pius X School, we recommend doing so early, as our maximum roll capacity is often reached.
