St Francis Xavier School is situated in the City of Ipswich, Queensland. We are a co-educational P-7 school accommodating approximately 470 students. Our school celebrated its Centenary in 2010. St Francis Xavier welcomes children and families from many countries. We are proud of the way our community blends the best from these cultures to develop and reflect the motto of the school 'Kids Who Care'. We pride ourselves on educating the whole child, promoting respect for self and others at all times. Our whole-school Behaviour Management policy and our well recognised Anti-Bullying -program 'Beating Bully Bulldozer' support the needs of the children and provide our parents with the necessary skills to support their children in developing these very important life skills. At St Francis Xavier School, we pride ourselves on working together as a community for the benefit of our children. We have a strong belief that learning is a lifelong and collaborative process. This belief is tightly aligned with our mission statement and our beliefs and values about teaching and learning.
