Homework Club is co-ordinated by Ms. Donoher. Homework Club runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 2.30 and 3.30pm. The teachers assist the children with their homework and scaffold. At the end of the homework club, all homework and spellings are checked and the journals are signed.
This is a great way for children who may find it difficult to concentrate at home to complete their homework. The children have an opportunity to have all their work completed and have more time for extracurricular activities outside of school.
St Francis Xavier SNS Lego Club has helped children to develop their creative side, improve their motor skills, enhance concentration, and further develop their problem-solving skills. Pupils in Lego Club enjoy creating wonderful pieces based on themes such as Myself, Sport, Home, and Transport and of course Halloween, Christmas and Easter along with other special occasions.
Fingal Youth Orchestra is a voluntary, non-profit organisation dedicated to providing orchestral training and performance opportunities for their members. Our season runs from September – May, with occasional events over the summer. Rehearsals are held fortnightly on Sunday mornings in St. Francis Xavier Senior National School. New members are always welcome.

Blanchardstown 104th/144th Scout Group was established in 1975, and has been based
in St Francis Xavier’s School since the beginning.
Our team of Adult members is dedicated to the development and personal progression of each and every youth member involved. Scouting Ireland is an organisation open to young people between the ages of 6-26 of all abilities, creeds and ethnicities. The aim of scouting is for a youth member to develop their SPICES. These stand for different elements that, through scouting, we wish to improve. They stand for, Social, Physical, Intellectual, Character, Emotional and Spiritual. This is done through experiencing new things, creating adventure and most importantly having fun!
Our Scout Group runs four of the section programmes, Beaver, Cubs, Scouts and Venture Scouts.
