Learning at Xavier
Xavier is a place where curiosity, imagination and love of learning thrive through working together to provide the most effective, engaging and challenging learning experiences for students.
As one of the 80 Catholic schools in the Diocese of Parramatta, we’re working together to transform learning for students in Greater Western Sydney. This means reimagining and refreshing learning and teaching for today’s world and today’s learners.
The purpose and promise of a Catholic education is to inspire each learner - student, teacher and family - to discover a meaningful and flourishing life.
Our faith journey
Xavier is a great place for students to grow in faith and learning. We value each student as an individual and share the values of the Gospel to help them discover the hope that is within and to experience a meaningful and flourishing life.

Beyond the classroom
We believe it is important for students to pursue interests to find what they are passionate about. Our school gives them exposure to a range of exciting opportunities to unlock their creative potential, develop a talent or follow a passion.
Be it learning Japanese or playing the drums, Xavier is a place where every student shines.Sport
Sport is a valued part of a school’s curriculum, contributing to the development of the whole child by providing a vehicle for social, physical, emotional and moral learning. Participation, enjoyment and skill development are the cornerstones of school sport.
Extensive opportunities to participate in sports include:
- Trefoni Trophy (Staff/Year 12 student contest)
- diocesan gala days for soccer, netball, rugby and basketball
- swimming, cross country and athletics carnivals
- recreational sports such as surfing, ice skating, and gymnastics
- annual walkathon
- Motiv8 sports activities
- specialist training and workshops.
Representative pathways are also available through the Parramatta Diocesan Secondary Sports Council.

Our High Support Learning Centre
Students with additional needs and their families are very welcome in our schools. An inclusive approach supports the individual needs of each student. It’s all about building confidence, independence and belonging!
We are particularly proud of our purpose-built High Support Learning Centre which provides inclusive education for students with a moderate intellectual disability, low adaptive functioning and high support needs.

College Houses
The Xavier College House System aims to recognise and reward active participation in both College life and the broader community. It reflects the belief that every aspect of College life holds significance and value. The House teams are named for significant individuals who inspire us with their strong faith and heroic virtues.
Student Leadership
Experiencing leadership gives students confidence, celebrates strengths and prepares young people to make a contribution to our community and world. Xavier offers a number of leadership opportunities, such as the Student Representative Council, both as part of and in addition to our curriculum.
School Uniform
Our students are ambassadors for Xavier and wear their uniforms with pride. Learn about our school uniform and how to make a purchase.
Parents as Partners
Strong partnerships between home, parish and school support students to grow in faith and learning. We recognise parents and carers as each student’s most influential, primary and essential educators.
