St Francis Xavier's Ballina enjoys a rich and diverse history. We pride ourselves on catering for students from a wide range of backgrounds, with varying degrees of needs and abilities. We are committed to the development of the whole person, with the life and teachings of Jesus Christ at the heart of the life of our school. Our commitment to the Gospel values of: love, peace and justice, helps create a school climate where everyone is respected and valued. Daily prayer is important. The school enjoys wonderful resources, which include Interactive Whiteboards in every classroom, state of the art Library and Creative and Performing Arts facility, school hall, multi-purpose court, synthetic running track and fitness circuit and netbook laptops. Sporting participation includes participation in touch football, league, AFL, union, soccer, swimming, cross country and athletics. We are fortunate to have a very active Parent Forum, which is well attended. Our Parent Forum is very supportive and directly responsible for the many changes and challenges our school continues to undertake. Further information can be obtained from the school's website.
