A Welcome Message from Mr Rudd

On behalf of our Parish Priest, Father Thien, the Teaching Staff of St Francis de Sales and myself, we warmly welcome you to St Francis de Sales Catholic Primary School.

We are very much looking forward to sharing your child’s journey through Primary School and fulfilling the important task of your child’s educational needs so that they may continue to grow and develop into the future.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions this year, unfortunately we are unable to run our normal Orientation Program with you, meet you face to face, hold our morning teas and Information Sessions, all of which we would have loved to have held. What we are hoping is that through this Orientation Portal, we have captured the essence of the message we would have liked to have shared with you personally at our Orientation Sessions.

As we get closer to the school year beginning in 2021, I encourage our families to refer back to this portal for updated information that may have been communicated to our school community with regards to the COVID-19 restrictions.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

A prayer for our new students

Lord, thank you for the unique gifts of every child as they transition into a new school. Fill each student with fresh enthusiasm and a heart that is excited to learn and grow. Cover them with your enduring love, give them confidence and grace, and equip them with the ability to persevere through trials. Bless their teachers with wisdom, understanding and a heart to serve, as they embark on the journey together!

Amen
