Junior Years (3 6)

The Junior Years at St Francis College serve children aged 8-12, encompassing Years 3 to 6.

With gentle courtesy and profound simplicity, Francis embraced every living thing as a reflection of his Creator. In alignment with the values of St Francis, the Junior Years promote the following principles:

  • Identifying and accommodating the emotional, social, cultural, spiritual, behavioural, and educational needs of each child.
  • Recognising that children enter our school at different stages of development.
  • Encouraging increased levels of responsibility and independence within each child.
  • Providing a safe, welcoming, and inspiring environment that challenges students to reach their full potential.
  • Enhancing the use and understanding of technology by incorporating interactive whiteboards and class notebooks into diverse learning tasks.
  • Instilling and upholding the Franciscan values of stewardship, harmony, peace, and community.
