Rich heritage at Xavier College

Xavier College is proud of its rich heritage in scholarships.

Accessibility to a Jesuit education is vital to us here at Xavier College.

We celebrate the diversity of interests and abilities in all of our students, and we understand that every child is different. Within their unique being lies their capacity to be discovered and challenged.

Our scholarships range from academic scholarships to music scholarships, as well as boarding scholarships and bursary opportunities (means-based).

We welcome you to visit our website for details on new scholarships for 2025.

Xavier boarders appreciate the opportunity to live, work and play with their best mates.

As 2023 Boarding Captain Mitch Loughnan proudly explained at a whole school assembly last year, “Boarders come from all parts of Australia and the world. From Inverloch all the way to Hong Kong and everywhere in between. (The Boarding House) is more than just a place to eat and sleep. At the heart of the walls are relationships. So many of them, if not all of them, are bonds and experiences made for a lifetime. We are a bunch of best mates who get to live with each other and learn the ins and outs of each person.”

Xavier College is entering an exciting period of growth.

Our crucial entry point of Year 7 is now accommodated in an exceptional, new state-of-the-art Year 7-8 learning precinct on the Senior Campus, which opened at the beginning of the 2024 school year. Preceding this will be a seven-year journey through a unique, brand-new P-6 Junior School.

Xavier prides itself on delivering a unique Jesuit education, and 2028 will mark 150 years of developing exceptional graduates through inspiring learning experiences.

Buoyed by recent solid VCE results and APS sporting success, the College now looks ahead with excitement and anticipation.
