Sacred Heart College, Geelong – Felicity Project
The Felicity Project is facilitated by students of Sacred Heart College, Geelong. Every term student representatives from St Francis Xavier School attend after school activities at Sacred Heart College. The purpose of the project is to give our primary school students opportunities to have fun, and to have new experiences, all while enjoying the school and its facilities. It is where they can meet and talk with some of the teachers and students of Sacred Heart College.
Students from Sacred Heart College also support students of St Francis Xavier School by volunteering to assist during sessions at St Francis.
