Student Leadership

 

Student leadership at St Pius X aims to empower students to have a discernible impact upon their learning environment and wider community. Our focus is on servant leadership and putting the needs of others first. The student leadership model has been designed to encourage students to realise their potential as empathetic leaders and disciples of Jesus.
