We offer a comprehensive curriculum for all students. Classrooms cater for the variety of learning needs and styles in an inclusive model of education. Students experience inclusive education when they can access and participate in learning alongside their similar-aged peers, supported by reasonable adjustments and strategies, tailored to meet their individual needs.

As a Catholic school, we value:

• openness to God’s Spirit at work in our midst and living in our Catholic faith
• respect for the dignity of each person
• recognising and celebrating the diversity of students
• commitment to processes of learning that are formative, challenging, engaging, life-long and life-wide
• actively supporting the enrolment, access, participation and flourishing of students with additional needs
• actively working with and supporting families and outside service providers

Programs to support students with additional needs are given high priority. At St Francis, we use a multi-tiered response to intervention which consists of evidence informed high quality Tier 1 (whole class), Tier 2 (small group) and Tier 3 (Playberry Intervention program) intervention.

Our students can also access on site support from Allied Health professionals engaged by their parents.  These supports can include Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy and psychological services.
