🚫💙 ANTI-BULLYING AT SFX 💙🚫
At St Francis Xavier’s College, we want every Xavierian to feel safe, respected and supported.
If you see or experience bullying, don’t stay silent. Speak to a member of staff you trust — whether that’s your form tutor, a teacher, pastoral staff or a member of the safeguarding team. 🗣️
📢 Reporting bullying helps us to support those who need it and make sure concerns are taken seriously.
Remember: speaking up isn’t “snitching” — it’s looking out for yourself and others. 💙

This morning, Lewis and Mr Hayes attended St Mary’s to celebrate Education Sunday. It was a wonderful opportunity to come together in prayer and give thanks for the importance of education and the role our schools play in our communities.
