Advance Notice
OSHC Service Closure

Please note OSHC will be closed on the upcoming Pupil Free Day Friday 3rd June 2026.

T-Shirt Day Reminder

Wednesday 10th June will be our whole school T-Shirt Colour Day. Students are asked to come to school wearing a plain coloured t-shirt in the colour allocated to their year level below. These colours represent those of the Aboriginal Flag, and we are hoping to capture a special drone photo of our students creating the flag formation on the oval, an image we are very excited to share with our community once we achieve the perfect shot.

•Reception – Year 1- Year 2MB: Red
•Year 3 – Year 4: Yellow
•Year 5 – Year 6- Year 2MD: Black

🚧 Rumour has it the library is plotting something exciting… No, it’s not a secret underground tunnel (we wish). Stay tuned for the next update!

National Reconciliation Week is an important time to reflect, listen, learn, and strengthen our commitment to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

At St Francis, we are proud to have created a welcoming space where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and families can learn, connect, and grow together. Through meaningful cultural experiences and rich educational opportunities, we continue to celebrate culture, community, and connection while fostering understanding and respect for all.

Lunch time chicken love ❤️

The students love when Mr Daley gets our feathered friends out at lunch time. The joy can be seen and heard right across the oval. What wonderful birds we have, who truly enjoy a snuggle.

Congratulations to the students who proudly represented St Francis at the recent Cross Country Trials. We are incredibly proud of the effort, determination, and sportsmanship shown by each student, and the wonderful way they represented our school.

We would also like to acknowledge and congratulate the five students who have qualified for the State Championships at Oakbank. This is a fantastic achievement, and we wish them all the very best as they compete at the next level.
