St Francis Xavier School (SFX) is a Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) school. BCE financially supports each school of the Archdiocese in a variety of ways. One of the most significant supports concerns staffing. BCE teaching and support staff are located within our schools and at our Catholic Education Centre. Government grants subsidise staffing costs in part and the balance comes from school fees, school levies and school fundraising.
SFX provides all-inclusive fees and levies which provide compulsory curricular incursions, excursions, classroom stationery resources, library resources, camps, adventure days, technology support and a 1:1 device.
From time to time a student event/activity may arise which may incur an additional charge. Parents will be advised in advance of the details and costs.
