St Francis of Assisi College provides excellent Catholic education for Year 7 to 12 students.
We provide an innovative and contemporary education tailored to students, their families and communities, leading to a life-long love of learning. It is a place of imagination where personalised learning, collaboration and interactive technology enable authentic and deep learning experiences.
With founding principles guided by Integral Ecology and the example of St Francis of Assisi, the College is a safe, supportive learning environment that has the future in mind whilst bringing with it the traditions loved and valued in Catholic education.
Our College ethos centres around care for each other, the environment and our local and broader community. We will foster an environment grounded in acceptance and kindness, where all are welcome.
At St Francis of Assisi College we invite students to learn in harmony with who they are and where they live, emerging as joyful young people and conscious contributors to our Riverland region and beyond. Students are encouraged to use their voices and lives for good, transforming into influential leaders who seek to enhance the world we all share.
The College is a nurturing environment that supports the achievement of optimal learning outcomes for all, incorporating support, diversity and flexibility through curriculum.
Since our opening in February 2022, our College and school community has purposefully strived to grow together, developing the culture we want. We are a place where young people thrive, feel confident in themselves and courageous in their learning and connections.
What we believe
Every person’s unique existence shapes the beautifully intertwined creation that is our world.
At St Francis of Assisi College, we invite students to learn in harmony with who they are and where they live, emerging as joyful young people and conscious contributors to our Riverland region and beyond.
Guided by our theology of integral ecology and inspired by St Francis of Assisi, patron saint of the environment, we deliver an excellent secondary Catholic education and open pathways to a faith-filled life of hope.
Our contemporary learning is innovative in its design, embracing the fundamental role of community in nurturing deep and respectful relationships with self, others and the earth, our common home.
Every person has a place here. We foster and environment grounded in acceptance and kindness, where we purposefully welcome and care for all.
