Did you spot us at BAM this afternoon? Thanks to everyone who popped over for a chat — it was lovely to meet you.

We’re looking forward to seeing some familiar faces again this Thursday at our Step into Prep morning, 9am-10:30am.

If you’ve been wondering where to begin your child’s primary schooling, come along for an obligation-free chat and see what St Francis can offer your child and your family.

Yesterday’s pupil-free day at St Francis focused on strengthening reading outcomes for every student. Our teachers and support staff dug into student data and evidence-based practice to sharpen our literacy and reading blocks, with high expectations for all learners alongside targeted teaching and timely support.

It was a Symphony of Stories today for our annual Bookweek parade.

Check out today’s newsletter for more photos.

We are grateful for the families and friends who helped create costumes and/or came along to enjoy the morning.

In true St Francis Spirit, our Year 6 leaders started a new tradition of a whole school Mexican Wave. What a team!

Thank you to those who ran, shuffled and walked in the Port to Park.

You’ve raised $630 for our beautiful school, to purchase new sporting equipment. Please comment your family name below if you were enjoying the morning at Gladstone Ports Corporation.

Mrs Romagnolo and Mrs Linforth saw the Coughran, Talbot and Adam’s families there. Who else did we miss?

Sharing love with our friends is one of the most important things we learn in Prep. Our Prep B students joined with Fr Peter and parents this morning giving thanks for the love of our friends, our family, and our God.

Who wants to slime and glitter bomb Mrs Suthers?
🙌 🙋 🙋‍♀️ 🙋‍♂️

We are super excited to announce that our wonderful Principal has agreed to not only be slimed, but also glittered(!!), if fundraising reaches $20,000!! 🎉😆

Not only do we have this to look forward to, but also some exciting mystery incentives to be unlocked along the way to $20,000!
I heard a rumour they might involve some teachers doing some seriously silly things... 👀🤯
