About our school
Our school vision – a caring faith community fostering welcome, inclusion and a love of learning – really sums up the essence of our beautiful school, St Francis Xavier. Situated in the eastern suburbs in the heart of Box Hill, our community is wonderfully diverse, with many cultures bringing vibrancy and dynamism to our school.
We have a wonderful story in our patron saint, Francis Xavier. He was a risk taker, always keen to travel to new lands, learn new things and engage warmly with people. His story inspires our staff and students to be eager learners, to embrace difference, find commonalities and push ourselves to new things. We are driven by our four key values: trust, respect, forgiveness, and care. These are the standards we hold ourselves to daily.
We use research-based approaches to learning and teaching with the needs of each student at the centre. Our Wellbeing program encompasses everything we do, ensuring our students are safe, secure, happy, and ready to learn and flourish. Our engaged parent community supports us in many ways, offering numerous opportunities to connect with the school and volunteer. Our school motto says it all – ‘may happiness dwell here’.
