From the Principal

SACRAMENT OF FIRST EUCHARIST 

Congratulations to all the students who received the Sacrament of First Eucharist. It was a great day as a significant milestone, marking their first-time receiving communion and becoming fully initiated into the Catholic Community.  Thank you to Fr Antony for a great celebration, a memory the children will always have when reflecting on their sacramental journey. 

Thank you to Rozeta and the staff in all they have done to prepare the children and helping them to understand the importance of this sacred rite a gift from God. To the choir who sang beautifully and the instrumental accompaniment made the occasion very special for all. 

Thank you to the P & F for the treat given to the children today who received their First Eucharist on Saturday, they loved their special treat.

Prep Enrolments are near capacity for 2026!

If you know someone thinking about their child starting at our wonderful school, they need to act fast. Book a tour, complete an application online and attend an interview to secure a place at St Francis de Sales for 2026. Delay and you will MISS out and will need to go on a waiting list. Spread the word so friends and families are aware that places are now limited for 2026.
