Welcome to St Francis Xavier Primary School. We invite you to discover what makes our school an excellent choice for your child's education, and encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our vibrant community and diverse offerings.

We recognise parents as a child's first and most important educators. Our school is committed to working closely with families to ensure each child develops into a confident, caring person who can make a positive impact in the world.

At St Francis Xavier, we nurture every student's strengths and talents, aiming for each child to experience success in learning and reach their full potential.

Our dedicated staff are passionate professionals who actively foster the Catholic ethos in all aspects of school life. They inspire students to achieve their best by delivering the Australian Curriculum through innovative, creative approaches with a Catholic perspective.

We believe learning is a lifelong journey and students thrive when they are actively engaged. Our teachers spark curiosity using inquiry-based questions and deliver lessons in ways that appeal to visual, auditory, tactile, and kinaesthetic learners.

At St Francis Xavier, we build strong foundations in literacy and numeracy, ensuring every student has the essential skills to reach their potential and succeed. Our school is also well-known for its exceptional extra-curricular program, offering a wide variety of opportunities for students to get involved. These include lunchtime and after-school sporting sessions, arts and music ensembles, choirs, instrumental music, as well as cultural groups, coding, robotics, and STEM groups. Students are encouraged to pursue their passions and discover new talents through these diverse activities.

St Francis Xavier has a respected reputation throughout Ipswich. The spirit within our students, staff, and families, alongside our welcoming school culture, makes our school a wonderful place to learn, grow, and be part of a supportive community.

As Principal, I value genuine partnerships with families and collaboration with staff. I take pride in knowing each student as a learner, and strive to lead by example, living the Gospel in my actions. We truly live our school motto: “Kids Who Care".

We encourage you to explore our website further, and invite you to contact us directly for more information or to arrange a personalised tour of our school.​

God Bless,
