St. Francis of Assisi Catholic school 290-312 Childs Road, Mill Park, Victoria 3082

Welcome to St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School, located in the beautiful suburb of Mill Park, Australia. As a primary school, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and faith-based education to our students.

At St. Francis of Assisi, we believe that education is a partnership between parents, teachers, and the school community. We understand the importance of keeping parents fully informed about their child's education, which is why we encourage you to read our comprehensive 'Enrolment Information' handbook. This handbook will provide you with all the necessary information to ensure a smooth transition into school life.

As educators in a Catholic school, our primary goal is to promote living and learning in faith. We strive to support parents in their role of nurturing their children, helping them to reach their full potential. Our learning environment is designed to be stimulating, positive, and purposeful, providing students with the tools they need to succeed.

We strongly believe in the power of parental involvement, as it strengthens the bond between parents, teachers, and the school. There are numerous opportunities for parents to actively participate in school life, whether it's through classroom activities, the Education Board, or the Parents' Association. We value parents as an invaluable resource and encourage their involvement wherever possible.

The spirit of St. Francis of Assisi guides us to create a community that is respectful, safe, and supportive. Our aim is to provide all members of our school community with the opportunity to live and learn in faith. We hope that your time at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School will be filled with happiness and success, and may God bless you and your family.

St. Francis of Assisi Parish Primary School is a shining example of a Catholic school that offers a rich faith experience to children. Our students not only learn about the beliefs and teachings of the Church, but they also learn the importance of belonging to a Christian community. This exposure to a vibrant Christian community provides a strong foundation for their future lives in the Church.

At St. Francis of Assisi Parish Primary School, we believe that every person is special. Our aim is to create an environment where children can grow in richness, fullness, and integrity. We believe that this can be achieved through the knowledge of God's love and by developing an awareness of His presence in our lives. We invite you to embrace St. Francis and all the values that it represents.

St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School operates under the consent of the Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne and is governed by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Ltd (MACS). MACS oversees and operates 292 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese, continuing the mission of Catholic education to equip our young people with knowledge, skills, and hope to live meaningful lives and make a positive impact on the world.

We believe that the responsibility of educating the young is a shared task within the Catholic school community. To facilitate this, School Advisory Councils have been established to foster a strong connection between the wider school community and school leaders. This governance model allows for greater collaboration between schools, eases administrative burdens, and ensures consistency in policies and procedures.

We invite you to join us at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School and experience the warmth, support, and faith-based education we offer. Together, we can create a bright future for our students and make a difference in the world.
