Established in 1978, the institution provides education for students in Years 7 through 12 and is part of the Diocese of Sale Catholic Education Limited (DOSCEL). The college’s mission emphasizes Catholic values and strong community engagement, inspired by its motto, Via Veritas Et Vita ("I am the Way, the Truth and the Life" - John 14:6).

Educational Philosophy and Religious Affiliation

As a Roman Catholic institution, St Francis Xavier College integrates faith-based education within a comprehensive curriculum. It is affiliated with the Southern Independent Schools and governed under DOSCEL, maintaining a commitment to nurturing spiritual, intellectual, and social growth among its students.

Community and Service Programs

A distinctive feature of St Francis Xavier College is its strong emphasis on community service and social responsibility. Students participate actively in the College Student Representative Council (SRC) and engage in various fundraising events supporting nominated charities. The pastoral care program includes a formal service learning component, particularly for Year 9 students who volunteer with organizations such as Pegasus Riding Schools, Greening Australia, St Vincent de Paul, Lifeline, and local primary schools.

In Year 10, students have opportunities to continue their community outreach with leadership roles and additional programs, including visits to St Francis Xavier Primary School in Lake Cargelligo. Senior students may also undertake volunteering activities that contribute towards recognized community service awards.

Social Justice Inspiration

The college draws inspiration from figures such as Frédéric Ozanam, founder of the Society of St Vincent de Paul, underscoring the importance of service to the poor and marginalized. This ethos permeates the school’s culture, encouraging students to develop empathy and a commitment to social justice.


St Francis Xavier College remains a leading institution in Catholic education in Victoria, fostering academic excellence alongside strong ethical and community values.
