Why Xavier?

Academic Excellence

At Xavier College, academic excellence is grounded in something deeper: a Catholic Jesuit education that inspires each student to pursue their highest potential. Through a culture of intellectual rigour, personal care and high expectations, we know, challenge and support every student as an individual. 

Men for Others
‘Men for Others’ is a key tenet of a Jesuit education. Students are encouraged to serve the wider community with faith, justice, dignity and respect.
Student Wellbeing
At the heart of our mission is Cura Personalis – the Jesuit tradition of caring for the whole person. Every student is known, supported and encouraged to thrive.
Xaverian for Life
Students and families become part of the worldwide Old Xaverian network, providing lifelong connections, mentorship and opportunities.

We develop
The Head, the Hands
And the Heart.
