Tena koutou katoa

St Francis de Sales School has a rich history of high quality catholic education and strong values which are modelled and promoted in our learning. Our vision is for each student to develop a love of God, a love of learning and a love of life. Our children are well cared for by our committed team. We provide valuable learning experiences for children from Year One to Year Eight to make this vision come to life within a nurturing catholic environment.

St Francis de Sales School is also part of a wider catholic community. We sit alongside St Francis de Sales Church, in Island Bay and maintain close relations with our parish. Our staff have chosen to work in a catholic school. We enjoy our various roles, have fun together and support one another in our caring community. 

I look forward to meeting you when you visit.

The process for determining preference and non-preference enrolments

As per the 2020 Education & Training Act, only 5% of our student roll can be non-preference where space allows. The remaining 95% must be "preference" (see Criteria of Preference below) . There is sometimes a waiting list for non-preference places at Saint Francis de Sales School. Please refer to the second page of the Criteria of Preference to check if your child would be applying for a Preference or Non-Preference place.
