About our school
St Francis Xavier School is one of two parish primary schools located in the Frankston Parish. St Francis Xavier was established in 1928 by the Sisters of St Joseph and the present buildings were opened in 1986. Between 1973 and 1980 Augustinian Sisters administered the school. Since then there have been five lay principals. Our current Parish Priest, Fr Denis Stanley, works with the principals to ensure there are strong links between the parish and the two schools.
The school logo was designed by a Year 10 student from our local Catholic secondary school, John Paul College. The logo represents sails on water, reflecting the exploits of St Francis Xavier as well as our proximity to Port Phillip Bay.
In 2009 St Francis Xavier was successful in receiving Federal Government funding as part of the Building Education Revolution. During 2009 and 2010, the school underwent major building works to update and bring the school learning environment into a contemporary 21 century educational setting.
St Francis Xavier School presently has five specifically designed educational zones: a Discovery Centre, Computer Lab and Production Room, a Creative Arts Studio, and an Open Assembly Area/Hall called ‘The Red Centre’, seven Home Group Learning Areas, Outside Play & Learning Spaces and an Administration area.
