ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½

A House System existed before 1952 at St Pius X but prior to that year they were merely colours. In 1952 they were named after four famous Christian Brothers who did so much for Christian Education. In 2010 we added mottos and crests culminating with the House Cup as the annual overall trophy.
