St Francis Xavier School
|
St. Francis Xavier School was established in 1975 to serve the families of the local Catholic Parish of Runaway Bay. St Francis Xavier supports the mission of the Holy Family Parish by offering quality coeducation within the context of Catholic values and traditions. As such, there are genuine efforts to establish a true community of faith and learning – one which recognises the uniqueness and dignity of the individual and operates on the gospel values of respect and care for one another.
