At Xavier College, we educate students from 3-year-old Kindergarten all the way through to their Year 12 Valete celebrations. We have three campuses: Kostka Hall in Brighton, Burke Hall in Kew and Senior Campus, also in Kew.

We enrol both girls and boys up until Year 4. From Year 5 to Year 12, we offer single-sex boys’ education.

Xavier College is a Catholic school founded in 1878 by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). It belongs to a worldwide network of over 2000 Jesuit educational institutions.

Our aim is excellence in education and the formation of reflective, compassionate and articulate men and women of Christian faith, hope and love who will provide outstanding service and leadership in our world.

With passion and purpose, we seek to forge young men and women of character, conscience, compassion and competent commitment. Within a spirit of excellence, we challenge our students to pursue their best, make a contribution and unlock their every potential.

For 140 years, we have been challenging and educating our students to strive for excellence in the development of their talent and potential through their intellectual, spiritual, moral, physical, social and emotional formation. Xavier offers a nurturing space, valuing inclusiveness and teamwork, in which students strive to discern and realise their gifts and to foster a passion for life and learning.

We aspire to nurture Xaverians who are able and willing, through word and deed, to pursue a courageous response to the challenges of our time and the building of a better world for all.

All Jesuit schools across the globe, including Xavier College, base their pedagogy and educational structures on the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (IPP). It connects us globally to a unique model of thinking and learning that defines us as not only as a spiritual community, but also as a community of learners.

In the Early Years, we offer the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, which promotes a transdisciplinary approach to education. Consistent with the characteristics of a Jesuit education, we strive to develop inquisitive, communicative, knowledgeable, principled, caring, open-minded, balanced and reflective girls and boys.
