Friends of St Francis

At St Francis, we firmly believe in the importance of parental involvement and its positive impact on our students' lives. The Friends of St Francis initiative is dedicated to fostering strong relationships between families and the College, enhancing community connections, and organising casual social gatherings. Our aim is to highlight shared learning responsibilities beyond school and promote awareness of both school and local resources.

Throughout the year, our commitment to community engagement is evident in the various events we host. We celebrate special occasions such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Grandparents' Day by bringing our extended school family together for memorable gatherings. These events include breakfast get-togethers or afternoon meet-ups, creating an atmosphere where the spirit of togetherness flourishes. Our activities range from paper plane making and competitions to table tennis, lawn games, and table-based fun like word searches and colouring.

Together, we uphold the values of Simplicity and Harmony at St Francis.
