The College


Vision

A Beacon of Good Practice


Raising Standards: An effective, student-centered learning organization where the collaborative effort of all stakeholders results in excellence in teaching and learning.  

Mission


To facilitate the development of a collegial environment where site-based managers ensure that teachers acquire the skills and competencies to employ appropriate, learner-centered teaching strategies; where the collaborative efforts of school and community afford learners every opportunity to achieve the highest standards of academic excellence and acquire moral and social values that would distinguish them as exemplars of our society.  


Motto


'Virtute Vera’ is a Latin phrase meaning ‘by true strength’. By true strength you can conquer the world, hold it in your hands, and make it yours.

Strength of body: physical strength means fitness and good health, an active body; a body that comes from being a participant rather than a bystander.

Strength of mind: mental strength means taking a keen interest in, and trying to understand everything you do, from schoolwork to play.

Strength of will: spiritual strength means the ability to withstand temptation; to stand on your own two feet; to know what you want out of life, and to go out and get it.

School Song


Girls in green and gold, black and white

Striving, ever striving to be right

Honest and sincere

Brave and without fear

Undaunted by all problems that arise

College Girls of St. François, we are one

College Girls of St. François, let’s move on

Standing Together

Working Together

Always for each other

All for one.

If we stand alone we may fall

When we’re linked together not at all

Strong to the weak

Proud to the meek

Students rally round and hear our call
