For the greater good
The Xavier College Vision:
Our motto and school crest
The Xavier College motto – ‘For the Greater Good’ – comes from the Latin word ‘Magis’, meaning ‘more’. Our patron, St Francis Xavier, and his companions used this phrase more widely to mean the universal good, or the better choice. It challenges our students to make decisions that prioritise the greater good in their lives.
Our College crest features:
- a medieval shield and the checkerboard background, sourced from Saint Francis Xavier’s own family crest from the 1500s,
- the brush cross, a contemporary image that symbolises Jesus Christ is at the heart of our school,
- the colour red, representing the suffering and blood of Jesus Christ.
- the unfinished edges of the cross symbolises the future, stretching out beyond defined boundaries.

Our history
Since 1999, Xavier College has offered exceptional education where curiosity, imagination and love of learning are treasured.
Xavier College officially opened on 1 March 1999. We initially taught 160 students in temporary buildings, located on the same site as Corpus Christi Primary School on Andromeda Drive, Cranebrook.
Construction commenced on the present Ninth Avenue site in 2004. During this time, Xavier College operated simultaneously from both the Andromeda Drive and Ninth Avenue sites.
In 2008, the College was completed with the building of the administration block and new classrooms.
Today, Xavier College enrols 1200 students. We look forward to providing exceptional Catholic education for generations to come!
