Welcome to Term 2

We look forward to another exciting term of wellbeing events and positive education at St Francis Xavier. 

SFX Character Strengths 

At our school, character strengths are incorporated into our Physical Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) syllabus. These 24 character strengths are positive aspects of our personality and impact how we think, feel and behave. Character strengths are a tool for teaching positive education, and they will be recognised this term across the school with our Character Strength Merit Awards. This term, four students from each class will be acknowledged for using a character strength in their school day or over multiple school days. These awards will be announced during our Stage assemblies on various Fridays throughout the term.

In Week 5, the students in Years K-6 will focus on the character strength of Love of Learning. This term, each grade will also explore a specific character strengths during the PDHPE lessons. Please see an outline of each grade focus below:
