St Francis College – was started in January 2004 by parents in the area that wished to ensure that their children would enjoy an exceptional education in a unique environment. Located on a farm in the St Francis Bay area, the school has developed into a caring, disciplined and environmentally aware structure of the community. A young, talented and dynamic teaching staff ensures that high educational standards are achieved, incorporating traditional values and life skills. Sport and cultural activities are undertaken on a regular basis to develop the full individual potential of each pupil. The school has produced young minds that have a love for learning and the environment, ready to take up their role as valued members of society. St

Francis College offers Grade 00 to grade 6 and is growing by an additional grade each year. Each class is small enough to care, making sure that each pupil receives a solid grounding in these formative years of education. Well qualified teaching staff members with appropriate experience are the main reason for pupils achieving exceptional academic results evaluated by independent leaders in the educational fraternity.
