Love of God … St Francis Catholic School is a welcoming community where we inspire excellence and nurture belonging. We value each member of our community as an individual and recognise that they come with their own unique story. Love of neighbour … We believe reconciliation is an ongoing journey that builds a culture of unity and acceptance. Reconciliation is the responsibility of all. We are committed to recognising the value of First Nations peoples’ knowledges, histories and cultures as a foundation for building strong, respectful relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people. We acknowledge Australia’s true histories while also shining a light on what we can do to move forward as a united, supportive and harmonious community. Love in action … At St Francis Catholic School we build relationships and connections with First Nations peoples and develop cultural awareness with all members of our school community. Through high-expectations relationships, we work with First Nations Elders and community members, and our school community to create an environment of trust and mutual respect as we journey together towards Reconciliation.
