Junior School

St Francis Xavier College recognises the significant change for Year 7 students as they enter secondary school. SFX strategically supports this transition by integrating the Humanities, Mathematics and Science programmes in the first year of secondary studies.

The learning programme in Year 7 follows the Australian Curriculum, including English, Mathematics, Science, Technologies, Humanities and the Social Sciences, the Arts, Languages and Health and PE. As a Catholic school, we value the study of Religious Education and consider it an important component for the holistic education of our students.

In Years 8, 9 and 10 students continue to study in the areas of Religious Education, English, Mathematics, History, Health and PE and Science. In Years 9 and 10 students have the opportunity to select two elective subjects each semester. These electives have been carefully designed to reflect student interest and agency in learning and provide a diverse range of options in learning pathways.

The College also offers a large variety of co-curricular activities which our Junior School students are encouraged to participate in from the SFX Band, Homework Club, College Sports, Green Team, Reading Cafe and more.
