A Grand Occasion

Grandparents and Grand Friends Day is a much-anticipated annual event at St Francis College. This year’s celebration was delightful, with lots of activities, singing and a picnic spread on the grass. Pupils played games and made crafts with their grannies, grampas and ‘grand friends’ and lots of fun was had by all.

As Spring unfolds, green-fingered pupils at St Francis College are delighted with what they are producing in their recently expanded school garden. The pupils plant and harvest both vegetables and herbs and enjoy relaxing in the beautiful space during break and after school. St Francis College is an Eco-School, which means that environmental education and awareness are part of the curriculum and reflects the institution’s commitment to sustainability.
