‘St Francis is a lovely school. The students here are very well mannered. We are a reef guardian school so that means we care for our environment and pick up rubbish around our school. The teachers are very friendly and welcoming and help us so much in class. They make sure we are safe. At St Francis the education is amazing and we are challenged every day’.
