St. Francis of Assisi High school engages in various activities that benefit the neighbouring communities. The activities include cleaning of streets, gutters, water channels that are usually filled with solid pollutants such as plastic bottles and bags that affect the environment. Another important activity that the school carries out under its community outreach initiative is the planting of trees.

In collaboration with the school, Two Sides of the Same Coin (TSSC), offers women training in entrepreneurship, enabling them to start small businesses that enhance their livelihoods for support of their families. The school provides venue for these trainings.
