St Francis Xavier Runaway Bay

Melbourne Private Schools introduces St Francis Xavier Runaway Bay in Runaway Bay, for all your education and learning needs.

St Francis Xavier Catholic Primary School was established with the assistance of Fr Keith Turnbull of the Southport Parish, to provide a much needed Catholic school at the northern end of the Gold Coast.

Today, St Francis Xavier has grown with a student enrolment of 639 students and with a staff of fifty. The school offers a comprehensive curriculum with values centred on the Gospel teachings of Jesus where the uniqueness and dignity of the individual is paramount and respect and care for one another is an expectation. This is supported by a real life and inclusive approach to Religious Education and Spiritual Formation which seeks to develop within our students the values lived out by our patron saint St Francis Xavier. As a community, we are inspired by the tradition of our school motto “Let Your Light Shine” in all that we do.

St Francis Xavier supports the mission of the Holy Family Parish by offering quality co-education within the context of Catholic values and traditions. As such, there are genuine efforts to establish a true community of faith and learning– one which recognises the uniqueness and dignity of the individual and operates on the gospel values of respect and care for one another.
