Out and About the School
2027 Kinder Enrolments Are Now Open
Do you have a child or know someone with a child ready for Kindergarten in 2027?
Our enrolment period opened on Tuesday 10th March till Friday 24th April.
IMPORTANT- Allergy Aware- School Lunches
St Xavier's is an Allergy Aware School. We have a number of students who have severe and mild allergies to both peanuts and tree nuts. Please be very conscious of this when packing your child's lunch. The smallest traces can cause a severe anaphylactic reaction. We ask that you do not pack Nutella, peanut butter, other nut butters and nut bars etc for your child to consume at school. Thank you for your understanding.
PUPIL FREE DAYS
At St Xavier's, we are committed to providing your children with the most engaging and effective learning environment possible. To maintain this high standard, our teaching staff regularly engages in "Professional Development".
Please note that there will be no school for students on the following days:
- Monday 20th April
- Friday 24th April
- Monday 20th July
- Tuesday 21st July
- Monday 12th October
While the students are away, our teachers become the students, mastering new tools that will be brought directly back into your child's classroom. Research shows that when teachers have the time to refine their craft, student engagement and achievement significantly improve.
