Since opening its doors in 1954, St Pius X School has been at the heart of the West Heidelberg and Heidelberg Heights communities, providing generations of students with a quality Catholic education and a place to learn, grow and belong.
​
As we prepare to close our school at the end of this year, we acknowledge the deep connections and lasting memories that St Pius X Primary School has created for so many students, families, staff and parishioners over the past 70 years. While students and families will be supported in their transition to nearby Catholic schools, the spirit and legacy of St Pius X will continue.
Later this year, we will come together as a community to celebrate the rich history and enduring impact of St Pius X Primary School.
​
In the meantime, we warmly invite all past and present members of our community to help us preserve these treasured memories by sharing your stories, photographs and reflections using the link below. Your contributions will help honour the remarkable legacy of St Pius X Primary School.
Welcome
St Pius X Primary Heidelberg West
Welcome to our wonderful school, where every student is treated as an individual and given the attention and support they deserve. At St Pius X, we believe in nurturing a caring and inclusive environment where each child feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.
​
At our school we believe that education is a partnership between parents, students, and educators. Together, we form a team dedicated to guiding and supporting each child as they grow into compassionate, confident, and capable individuals. We aim to create an environment where faith, kindness, and respect are not just taught, but lived out each day.
​
I warmly invite you to take the opportunity to visit - you’re always welcome!

Welcome
From Our School Captains
Daniel:
What I love about St Pius is that everyone is treated kindly and respectfully. This is part of our school culture, and everyone is expected to follow it. I believe this is important because everyone is caring and inclusive. We look out for each other, and the teachers are always kind.
​
Stefano:
I love St Pius X for so many reasons, but one of my favourites is our Gardening lessons. We get to cook, learn about nature, and take part in STEM projects, like building a pizza oven from scratch in our community garden. It’s amazing! Our school is the best!
​
Nakisha:
Our school has the best teachers who organise all the fun activities, like art projects, hot food days, and excursions. I love how everyone knows each other and how we always help one another, including the Preps and Year 1s during Buddy Time and playtime. I also enjoy Buddy Time, where I get to read books with my buddy.
​
Sylvie:
One of the things I love about St Pius X is the guinea pigs! I also love that all the teachers know me. It’s exciting when the school takes us on amazing adventures like STEM MAD and the zoo. I bring animal expertise, kindness, and creativity to our school community.
