The challenge faced by most schools is to prepare students for a rapidly changing world. Xavier High School encourages students to be resilient, self-reliant and optimistic as we serve each student's spiritual and social needs.
The Xavier High School community strives to instil in its students a strong sense of social justice and social commitment by:
Our School Captains, Breda O'Kane and Thomas Fawcett epitomise the values and hopes of the School and are able to empathise with all Year levels.

"You are a child of God: your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
