About our school
The school vision is for children to thrive by nurturing a passion for learning and excellence. This is achieved, not only through a strong academic and Religious Education program, but also through comprehensive extra curricula programs where all talents are valued and nurtured. Francis Jordan Catholic School is well known throughout the community for its Music programme which features instrumental music (both individual and ensembles), two concert bands, a recorder group and choirs. Liturgical movement and dance groups complete the performing arts offerings at the school.
The school is involved in the Catholic Schools Performing Arts Festival each year and has won a number of awards in recent years. The school also has a well-established Gifted and Talented Programme which has seen students perform successfully in a range of activities and competitions.
In the spirit of Fr Francis Jordan, after whom the school is named, we seek to make Jesus and His teachings known to our students and our community. We hope to develop in our students a deep trust in God, a spirit of prayer, devotion to Mary and the courage to follow Jesus. In order to nurture this, liturgical celebrations form a critical component of the school’s prayer life.
Principal's Message
Welcome to Francis Jordan Catholic School …
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Francis Jordan Catholic School community. Our school is a family orientated, Catholic Parish community-based school, centred on the person of Jesus and the teachings of the Catholic Church where children thrive. It is the intention of all involved in the school to provide an environment where the students feel loved, safe, nurtured and valued. It is a place where each student is challenged to excel. Families are encouraged to be as involved in the life of the school as they can be. The school is a more complete community when this occurs. Respect for the dignity of each person underpins all actions and relationships in the school. The school is a learning community, where students are developed into young people who think clearly, act with integrity, generosity and humility, are sensitive to the needs of others, have a desire to serve the community and adopt a global perspective. In the spirit of Fr Francis Jordan we seek to make Jesus and His teachings known to our students and our community. Finally, our school is a place where prayer and liturgical celebrations provide a central focus for a Catholic Christian community.
I look forward to working with each family.
