PRIN CIPAL \ MR WILLIAM DOHERTY
Xavier College aspires to be world-class in all we do. We strive to form exceptional graduates through inspiring learning experiences and our distinct Jesuit character.
Xavier College was first opened by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) in 1878 and to this day continues to enlighten generations of fine young men.
The College educates students from three-year-old Kindergarten through to Year 12 across three campuses: Kostka Hall Campus in Brighton, Burke Hall Campus in Kew and Senior Campus, also in Kew. Each campus is a culmination of modern innovation and rich historical preservation.
At the Kostka Hall and Burke Hall campuses, the College enrols both Early Years (co-ed, three-year-old Kindergarten to Year 4) and Middle Years (boys Years 5 to 8) students. At the Senior Campus, Senior Years students (boys Years 9 to 12) also have the opportunity to board.
Our students are at the heart of all that we do. Through their Xavier journey, we strive to form exceptional Xavier graduates who are authentic, spiritual, positive, inspiring, resilient and empathetic.

ACADEMICS
Xavier College is a high performing academic school and has been consistently ranked within the top secondary schools in the state. Students are supported in an environment where they can flourish and pursue excellence in all things.
SERVICE SPORT
Embedded within the philosophy of a Jesuit education is a commitment to service. Students are encouraged to be ‘Men and Women for Others’ and to utilise their God-given gifts to be of service to those in the community and beyond. Sport plays a significant role in the life of a Xavier student. The College provides a unique, participation-based, challenging and rewarding program that offers 29 different sports across the College’s three campuses.
BOARDING
Boarding has been a part of the very fabric of Xavier since 1878. With outstanding staff to student ratios, the Boarding House maintains a personal feel where all boys are known and engaged by the specialist boarding staff.
