On Thursday 22nd September, we celebrated St Francis Day and our 25th Anniversary.
Father Gerard and Father Vincey led us in the celebration of Mass, where we learnt about what makes St Francis such a special saint. We were also told about how the school was developed from the commencement.
We were fortunate to have important guests attend our celebration such as Mr Ed Husic our local Federal Member, past principals, Paul Easton from the Catholic Education office and local Catholic School principals along with some past teachers and even parents who attended the school as a student themselves.

Jessica K from Year 6 participated in the NSWPSSA Girls Cricket Championships in Bathurst. Her MacKillop team went into the Grand Final undefeated in their pool but came up against a very strong Sydney West team and were runners up receiving a silver medal. It was a big week of cricket for Jessica who made runs, took wickets and some great catches. We are very proud of her and how she represented St Francis of Assisi Primary School Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese Primary Sport Parramatta Diocese
