To provide a Catholic environment where children develop their spiritual, academic, physical, and social potential.
Our Vision is: we believe, we learn, we grow
At St Francis Xavier School, we see our tamariki/children:
Our school values have come from the motto of the Brigidine order of nuns
Strength and Gentleness - Tū Māia, Tū Aroha
At school, we talk about strength of mind and gentleness of heart.
Tamariki/Children stand up for what they believe in, don't give up when things are challenging. They think of others and our environment, looking after others and our world.
At the beginning of each year, the children and teachers unpack and identify what the visions and values might look like, sound like and feel like. Each year level goes a little deeper to gain a better understanding.
