Over the past decade, St Francis College has enjoyed a multi-million dollar upgrade of facilities.
Additions such as the state-of-the-art Year 4 & 6 classrooms (See photos) and Health Hub ensure that the school remains at the cutting edge of modern education. The development of additional classroom areas and the refurbishment of existing buildings forms part of our College Master Plan. Upgrades occur regularly as we strive to enhance the look and feel of our P-12 campus.

One of the most appealing features of our campus is the beautiful grounds, where many Australian natives can be found, attracting a range of birdlife. This certainly complements the Franciscan ethos that we follow.
