Welcome to St Francis Xavier School

Nau mai, haere mai, and a very warm welcome to St Francis Xavier School, our vibrant Catholic learning community. We are delighted to share a glimpse of what makes our school a special place for students and their families.

At the heart of our school is a simple promise: to ensure that every child is recognised, valued, and supported to reach their full potential. Our caring and committed team works tirelessly to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children feel happy, healthy, and excited to learn.

Our school values, Strength and Gentleness – Tū Māia, Tū Aroha, guide everything we do. They reflect our belief in fostering strength of mind and gentleness of heart. We encourage our students to persevere, embrace new challenges with courage, and stand up for what is right with kindness and integrity.

We strive to provide your child with a strong foundation for lifelong learning and a bright, successful future. By opening doors to new opportunities, removing barriers, and fostering self-belief, we empower our students with confidence, resilience, and a deep sense of self-worth, rooted in faith, love, and trust in God.

We truly believe that a strong partnership between home and school creates the best opportunities for children to flourish. We look forward to welcoming you and working together on this wonderful journey.
