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.
At SFX, we believe:
- All students can learn and achieve when given opportunities for challenge and growth.
- Teaching is a collaboration between students, parents, teachers and the community for a lifelong learning.
- Diversity, uniqueness and individuality are celebrated, nurtured and respected at SFX.
- Each person in the SFX community needs to be nurtured emotionally, physically, academically and spiritually.
- Teachers need the opportunity to engage in reflective practice to learn and improve.
- SFX celebrates and respects the potential and success of every member of our community.
- Positive and meaningful relationships are the core of Teaching and Learning at SFX.
