St Pius X High School, one of the 12 Catholic high schools in the Diocese of Maitland and Newcastle, will change its name when it expands its teaching cohort to include Years 7 through 12 in 2025.
The school, which opened in January 1959 and became a flashpoint of a royal commission into instances of clerical child abuse in 2013, has traditionally taught students through Years 7 to 10, but a major overhaul of the Catholic school system, announced last May, will see the Adamstown college join San Clemente at Mayfield in opening to HSC students over the next four years.
