College Vision & Mission
Our Vision
Living the truth, leading with courage, learning for life
Our Vision calls us to build a vibrant and inclusive Catholic community where students, staff, and families are united in their commitment to excellence, peace, dignity, and reconciliation, and where all are invited to grow spiritually, intellectually, and socially, prepared to make a positive difference in the world.
Our Mission
Truth and courage
As a Catholic school we believe that all members of our community are created in the image of God. Through a process of deep discernment, we recognise that the development of the whole person lies at the heart of an exceptional educational experience at St Francis Xavier College. The holistic, spiritual, academic, social, emotional, and physical wellbeing of each member of our community lies at the heart of our College Mission.
We aim for our students to develop the knowledge and confidence to successfully navigate the joys and complexities of work, life and leisure in the 21st Century. We believe that success in education is about building curiosity, compassion, and mobilising the cognitive, social and emotional resources of our learners to take action now and in the future.
Our Mission as a contemporary Catholic school is expressed by:
- The manner in which we enter into relationship with Jesus and invite others to do so
- The manner in which we seek to provide excellence in educational opportunity for all
- The manner in we advocate for the human dignity and rights of all within our community
- The manner in which we advocate for and protect the marginalised in our community
- The manner in which we promote the search for peace, justice, integrity and respectful relationships in our community
- The manner in which we protect and sustain our natural environment
- The manner in which we evangelise the multitude of cultures through which people live their lives and express their identities in our community
- Through the manner in which we celebrate the range of faith traditions in our community
- Through the promotion of national and inter community reconciliation in our community
