The Arts

The Arts

The Arts have the capacity to engage, inspire and enrich all students, exciting the imagination and encouraging them to reach their creative and expressive potential. The term ‘creativity’ plays a critical role in all arts subjects.

The Arts learning area comprises five subjects: Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music and Visual Arts. Together they provide opportunities for students to learn how to create, design, represent, communicate and share their imagined and conceptual ideas, emotions, observations and experiences, as they discover and interpret the world.
At St Francis Xavier, students study Dance, Media, Drama and Visual Arts through a wide range of class, extracurricular and specialist learning opportunities.

Our Philosophy

At St Francis Xavier Primary School, our philosophy is grounded in Catholic faith and Gospel values, nurturing the whole child—spiritually, academically, socially, and emotionally. We believe every child is unique and created in the image of God, deserving of respect, care, and opportunities to grow.

Our Values

Guided by Christus Lux Mea — Christ is My Light — our values are rooted in discipleship, learning, and community. With Christ as our guiding light, we live out Gospel values through respect, compassion, integrity, and service to others. We value learning as a lifelong journey, encouraging curiosity, perseverance, and excellence in all that we do.
