Our Franciscan spirituality and values are important to us. Our teaching and learning and pastoral frameworks endeavour to create a climate where we value each individual in the spirit of hope, care and compassion. We work for justice and sustainability.
Our College Mission and Vision statements indicate that we strive to provide an education that challenges students to grow and learn; and we strive to provide this education in a family environment where students feel safe and supported. Our College family is rich in diversity -we celebrate our rich cultural and linguistic backgrounds but we are united in our commitment to a Franciscan education and way of life.
At the heart of our College is a recognition that faith and education must be in harmony to ensure that our students can take their place in society as citizens with values, skills and an understanding of the complex issues that they will confront in their journey of life.
This journey at the College involves a close partnership between students, families and staff. We hope our actions reflect our beliefs. St Francis challenged us to "Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words." We believe our students are our finest ambassadors.
We, the community of St Francis College, Crestmead shall reflect in every aspect of our lives the values, beliefs and traditions of our Catholic faith. We will strive for inner peace and freedom from fear through prayer and reflection. We will nurture a climate which encourages wholeness, esteem, hope, care, compassion and understanding. We will accept each other as individuals with unique talents and gifts. We endeavour at all times to be responsible models for justice and the Franciscan spirit of poverty.
Parents and teachers will work together to foster in our students a desire to learn and encourage the development of basic skills necessary to achieve their full potential in an ever-changing world. Students will be encouraged to make decisions and commitments which will help them grow spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially.
We believe that God has given us the responsibility of stewardship over Creation. It is the work of students, staff and parents to contribute to the protection and promotion of natural and human welfare in order to advance the creative activity of God. With St Francis and St Clare, in simplicity and harmony we will "follow the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ and walk in His Footsteps".
Our vision is to be a contemporary Catholic school that is inspired by the Franciscan values of simplicity and harmony. A school where everyone works together so that our students can grow and learn, be supported and loved, be informed and empowered, practice forgiveness and cooperation, and become lifelong learners. A school that acknowledges the importance of relationships through the active development of positive partnerships with our families, our St Maximilian Kolbe Parish, and our local community.

I've gone to this school since prep and I'm now half way through grade 9 it is honestly the worst school everyone there are all rude including the teachers and there are a lot of bullies and the education isn't the best as some teachers give students wrong information e.g Mr peter Newbury he writes stuff on the board then goes and sits down and if u ask for help he will read you exactly what he wrote on the board. don't send you're children here it's a waste of money they care more about the uniform then you're actual education ?
