A School and Parish Community that learn to love and love to learn
Inspired by St Francis' love of God, others and creation, we provide a nurturing learning environment which educates the whole child - mind, body and soul. We are a full Catholic primary set in the heart of the historic Thames township with a roll of around 80 Year 1-8 students. At St Francis, children are challenged to fulfil their God given gifts and talents to make a positive difference in our community.  
We work hard to ensure ALL children have opportunities to thrive and find success. Small class sizes and a caring staff and community make it a wonderful place to be.
If you want to know more about our school, please phone, send and email or even better, pop in and see us!
 
God bless
Oliver Fahey
Principal
