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, we provide a nurturing learning environment for each child. Children are challenged to develop and make the most of their unique gifts and talents.

We are a family focused school community working in partnership to ensure the best possible learning outcomes for our children.

If you want to know more about our wonderful school, please phone, send and email or even better, pop in and see us.

Welcome to the 2020 School Year
We are all very excited about the year of learning ahead. This year's learning theme is 'In faith, life and learning be strong, be brave, be steadfast'. This is derived from Term 4's whakatauki 'kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui'. This theme challenges us as a community to stand tall, be proud and live out faith in all that we do. Learning is at the heart of this.  Our children are challenged to be risk takers in their learning, resilient when things are tough and strong in knowing who they are and what they stand for.
We have much to look forward to in 2020 so be sure to check out our weekly newsletter for regular updates as well as our school facebook page

God bless
Oliver Fahey
Principal
