MOTHER'S DAY BREAKFAST

The St Francis Xavier's annual Mother's Day Breakfast will be held next Friday 9th May.

In preparation for the breakfast, we kindly ask if anyone has any eggs they would like to donate to please let the office know by Friday. 

UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS

Please be advised that our sports uniform will continue to be worn on Mondays and Fridays this term. 

As we begin to encounter some cooler weather, students have the option of choosing to wear their winter uniform or summer uniform in the next few weeks. However, please ensure your child is dressed in either full winter or full summer uniform and not a combination of both. Full winter uniform includes wearing a tie at all times.

A friendly reminder that:  

● Hair that is longer than shoulder length (boys and girls) must be tied back at all times with green, gold or natural coloured hair ties, ribbons or scrunchies. 

● Hair colouring of any kind is not permitted without explicit permission from the Principal. 

● Hair styles with cut or shaved shapes and patterns are not permitted. 

● Nail polish and false nails are not permitted. 

● Jewellery is not permitted with the exception of a watch, medical bracelet, a necklace with a small cross or crucifix and plain studs or sleeper earrings - maximum of two per ear (girls only). 

● Black leather shoes are required to be worn with the school uniform and sports shoes with the sports uniform. 

The official changeover to the Winter uniform is Monday 2nd June.
