We communicate our vision to our students, parents and our community.
Our Vision
St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School, in partnership with parents, provides a Christian environment where children are educated to take their place in the Church and society.
Our Mission
Saint Francis of Assisi School aims to allow each person to achieve their full potential in a Christian community which values justice, respect and courage.
Our Faith
The celebration of God’s love is at the heart of St Francis’ school life. As a prayerful community we take time to listen to and reflect on the word of God. Our Catholic ethos and traditions are cherished and promoted. Our School is an integral part of St Francis of Assisi Parish.
Our Parents
We support and involve parents as partners in the education of their children. The participation of parents in the decision-making process is actively encouraged and regular and open communication between home, school and the community is given high priority.
Our Students
The uniqueness and dignity of each child are recognised and honoured. We assist the students in the development of their gifts. We aim to provide a happy, supportive, loving, yet challenging learning environment, which promotes self esteem and the total development of the child. We foster awareness in the students of their responsibility to love, care for, respect and accept each other.
Our Staff
The staff of St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School is a committed and well qualified group of people who have accepted an invitation to be involved in the mission of the Church through their vocation as members of our Catholic School community. They are enthusiastic, approachable and caring and are constantly aware of their pastoral and professional responsibilities.
Our Curriculum
St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School’s curriculum encourages and supports students to participate, discover and take risks in their own learning. A relevant curriculum provides the students with a range of knowledge, skills, attitudes and understandings that will enable them to live faith filled lives and participate meaningfully and positively in society.
Our Tradition
Catholic Education in the Northern Territory dates back to the 19th Century with a long and proud tradition of service. Today over 5000 NT students are educated in Catholic schools.
St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School was established in 1997 by the Catholic Education Council (NT) and the Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Parish of Humpty Doo. It is situated within the Diocese of Darwin.
