Student Wellbeing

At St Francis Xavier School we encourage partnerships between school, family, parish and the wider community. We actively work to build a positive school environment where each child can feel included, safe, supported and valued. We believe that the development of our students’ spiritual, emotional, social and physical wellbeing is fundamental to their learning success.
