Dear Parents and Caregivers of St Pius X,

As we step into 2025, I am excited to introduce myself as the new Principal of St Pius X, Unanderra. It is an honour to join such a vibrant Catholic community dedicated to nurturing the faith, learning and wellbeing of all students.

As we embark on this new year together, I express my commitment to fostering an environment where every student feels valued, supported and inspired to reach their full potential. I believe that education is a collaborative effort, and I am eager to work alongside our dedicated teaching and support staff, and our families, to build on the positive and enriching experiences offered to the students of St Pius X. 

Throughout 2025 St Pius X will continue to focus on:

• Faith development - providing many opportunities for our students to strengthen their relationship with God
• Academic excellence - maintaining a rigorous focus on ongoing student achievement for all students from Kindergarten to Year 6
• Wellbeing - continuing to provide consistent behaviour management support through our PB4L procedures and implementing approaches that promote resilience, empathy and mental health awareness.

I encourage you to stay connected with us through our newsletters, the school website and social media channels as we share important dates, upcoming events and ways to get involved in our school community.

I also take this opportunity to thank the teachers of St Pius X for their dedication and preparation over the student holiday period to ensure that your children have a successful start to the school year. The year has commenced very smoothly and the students are already engaged in rich learning experiences as they settle into their 2025 class. 

I look forward to meeting each of you and getting to know your children as we commence 2025.

In Faith, Learning and Wellbeing,

Lisa Tyson - Principal
