St Francis Xavier's school's vision is underpinned by the values of Trust, Respect, Forgiveness and Care. The school offers a comprehensive range of academic programs including a Visual Arts program, a Performing Arts program and a Physical Education program. Additionally it provides a range of extra-curricular activities which include a comprehensive sports program. The outstanding aspect of the school is its community spirit - there is a culture of care for each other in the community. Parents are involved in the school by way of the School Education Board, the Classroom Helpers Program and the Parents and Friends Association. Each child is valued and cared for by a dedicated staff and by all members of the community. Student wellbeing is high on the school's agenda with a range of proactive programs being offered. School staff members participate in a wide range of Professional Learning activities as we believe that, apart from the students themselves, the teacher is the major influence on student learning. Consequently we allocate significant resources towards teacher development.
