Welcome to the 2026 school year!
It is with great excitement that we welcome all families and staff to the 2026 school year, and especially those new families and teachers joining our school community. We look forward to working in partnership with you throughout the year ahead.
Our school theme for 2026 is Every Heart Full of Kindness. This theme will guide our relationships, our learning, and our daily interactions, reminding us of the importance of compassion, respect, and care for one another.
We continue to offer strong Intervention programs in English and Mathematics that support students who require additional assistance, while also extending and challenging those who need further stimulation beyond the typical classroom setting. In addition, all students will participate in seven Specialist classes each week, a provision that is exceptional at primary level and offered consistently across all forty weeks of the school year. These specialist areas include Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Physical Education, LOTE (Mandarin), Discovery Centre (Library), S.T.E.M, and Digital Technologies.
As Principal of St Francis Xavier Primary School, I hold high expectations of myself, our staff, and our students. It is through the dedication, professionalism, and enthusiasm of our 53 staff members that every child is challenged and supported to reach their full potential.
The partnership between students, teachers, parents, and parish is vital to our success. While there is already a strong sense of connection within our school community, we recognise the importance of continuing to strengthen these relationships throughout 2026.
As a school, we must continually strive to be the very best we can be. Our aim is to be the school of choice and a destination school within the Montmorency area, providing exceptional education that supports every child’s learning journey and nurtures the leaders of tomorrow.
With faith, courage, and commitment we move forward into the 2026 school year.
