St Francis Of Assisi Catholic College
As a faith community, we have high expectations for all of our students. Our motto is “Nil satis optimum”, only the best is good enough. Students and staff alike, take a great pride in their school work. Our patron saint, St Francis of Assisi, tells us to start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible and suddenly we are doing the impossible. This is exemplified by all we say and do in our lessons and within the school community.
