Our Community
St Francis Xavier School is a Preschool to Year 10 Aboriginal Catholic Community School in the Nauiyu Community. Our school sits on the banks of the beautiful Daly River, known locally as the Green River, 250km south of Darwin.
The Daly River has 450 residents with 10 different language groups, the traditional owners of the land are the Malak Malak people. Our school vision is to work closely with the community to unite the local Aboriginal way of life and Gospel values to build strong learners and future leaders. Saint Francis Xavier uses the Australian Curriculum, with a heavy focus on the General Capabilities, to drive social and emotional learning, academic as well as physical education for all students. Our guiding mission is to work in partnership with Elders, local staff, community and the parish to educate all students in how to lead healthy active lives as responsible community members who are, strong in faith, strong in culture and strong in learning.
