Farewell to St Francis of Assisi
As we come to the end of the year, we take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks and bid farewell to our Catholic Care School Counsellor Catriona Neilson and Pastoral Support Worker Melanie Jennison. We are deeply grateful for the contributions you have made to our school community. As you embark on the next chapter of your journey, know that you leave with our love, prayers, and best wishes. May this new phase bring you joy, fulfilment, and many blessings.
Welcome to St Francis of Assisi
We are delighted to welcome Soukaina Awada to St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School as our new School Counsellor. Soukaina will be with us every Tuesday and every second Wednesday, providing support to our students, families, and staff. We look forward to working with you, Soukaina, and to the positive impact she will have in helping our students grow and thrive. Welcome to the St Francis of Assisi!
LunchBox Express Canteen
We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful services provided by Nicole from Lunchbox Express. Nicole consistently went above and beyond to support our students and school community. Thank you also to our families for supporting Nicole, and a special thanks to Danielle for her invaluable support of both Nicole and our school canteen this year. We are so fortunate to have your contributions and services enriching our school.
Thank you
Thank you to the St Francis of Assisi Parents & Friends (P&F) for your incredible support of our school throughout 2024. Your initiative and organisation of fundraising events have made a significant impact on our community.
A special thanks to Rosemarie, Daniella, and all the volunteers – your dedication and hard work are truly appreciated. We are so grateful for the time and effort you contribute to supporting the St Francis of Assisi school community
Year 6 Polo Shirt - 2025
Students will have the opportunity to order a Year 6 polo shirt next year. Please do not purchase a new Sport polo shirt, as they will have the Year 6 polo shirt to wear for sports.
2025 Compulsory School Uniform Requirements
When returning to school for the 2025 school year, it is required that all students are in the correct school uniform. This includes wearing the correct black leather school shoes and predominately white school joggers for sport. Parents are requested to purchase predominately white joggers when your child requires new shoes or at the start of the 2025 school year, thereby adhering to the School Uniform Policy.
Examples of appropriate joggers.
2025 - Sports shoes do not need to be expensive; they can have some colour on them but must be predominately white. Thank you for your continued support.
School dates for 2025
Please note that students in Years 1 - 6 return for the 2025 school year on Tuesday 4 February. Kindergarten commences school on Wednesday 5 February.
