The school population is now approximately 250 students from 20 different cultural backgrounds. Today, the school offers eight classrooms, a library, a canteen, staff and administrative facilities, resource and storage areas and a large hall/parish centre, as well as ‘up to the minute’ staff and children’s resources. The school has extensive grassed playgrounds, which are very well maintained by the community. Much systematic attention has been given to the development of appropriate play areas for different age groups, e.g. basketball/netball courts, sand pits, fitness circuits, an adventure playground and passive areas. Traffic management is a high priority of the school and professionally organised pedestrian and vehicular flow management procedures are included in the organisation of the front car parks. The school takes pride in its lived vision of partnership between staff, parents and pupils and constantly strives to offer a sense of welcome to all.

The school’s major resource is its people. Staff enjoy a warm relationship with the children and their families and take pride in the fact that St Francis de Sales is famous for its high academic standards and its friendliness. The core curriculum of Religious Education, Literacy and Numeracy is supported by a diverse curriculum including The Arts, Physical Education, Perceptual Motor Program, LOTE (Italian in Years 3–6), Information Technology, Children’s Literacy Success Strategy (CLaSS), Numeracy support, Swimming, camps and excursions, and a school choir.
