Message from the Principal
As a Jesuit school, Xavier College seeks to develop fully rounded individuals - reflective, articulate and compassionate men and women of faith who will seek to make a difference in the world.
A Jesuit education instils in the students a solid grounding in faith, an eager desire to fulfil their potential, a lifelong love of learning, a secure sense of self-worth, and a genuine commitment to serve others.
At Xavier we offer our students the highest quality of pastoral and spiritual care. We respect and value each student as a unique individual and teach them, in turn, to respect and care for all members of the school and wider communities.
The breadth and richness of our programs provide ample scope for developing the great diversity of individual talents, whether in the academic arena, in sport, or through creative endeavours.
I invite you to discover the difference Xavier's Jesuit education can make.
- Dr Christopher Hayes (Principal).About Xavier College
Xavier College, now entering its 135th year, is a Catholic school within the spiritual tradition of St Ignatius of Loyola and belongs to a worldwide network of Jesuits schools.
A Jesuit education has a clear purpose: the development of a well-rounded Christian person of competence, conscience and compassion who will be of a generous disposition and who will be of service in the world.
We take great pride in the college’s academic standing: in the 2012 VCE results, five students gained a perfect ATAR score of 99.95. As Xavier is a non-selective school at the time of enrolment this truly was a great achievement. Yet consistent with the values which flow from a Jesuit education, we rejoiced equally that the students in the graduating VCE class of 2012 had logged 26,000 hours of Ignatian community service. This illustrates such a warm and positive response from the students in striving to meet one of Xavier’s key tenets: ‘To become men and women for others’.
