Xavier College first opened in 1878 and has a proud history as an Australian educational institution. At Xavier College, we nurture and educate students from 3-year old Kindergarten all the way through to their Year 12 VCE results celebrations. We have two campuses in Kew, Burke Hall and the Senior Campus. As a Catholic school within the spiritual tradition of St Ignatius Loyola, Xavier College belongs to a worldwide network of Jesuit schools whose origins lie in a vision he formulated four-and-a-half centuries ago. A Jesuit education has a clear purpose: the development of a well-rounded Christian person of competence, conscience and compassion who will be of service in the world and has the generosity to make a contribution.
