St. Francis Catholic School sits proudly alongside our Parish on Mackay Street in the center of Thames.

 
Inspired by St Francis' love of God and Creation, St Francis School provides a nurturing and relationship focused learning environment. Children are challenged to fulfil their God given gifts and talents to make a positive impact in our community. At St Francis, we learn to love and love to learn.  
We are a small, multi cultural and family focused school who offers a high quality education to all children in a Catholic environment.  Working in partnership with our Parish, we educate the whole child, Spirit, mind and body. 
If you want to know more about our school, please phone, send and email or even better, pop in and see us!
 

God bless
