At Xavier, our fees are all inclusive*.
Your tuition fee includes the following:
*Additional costs to the tuition fees may apply if your student participates in some representative sport, overnight excursions and some elective subjects.
At Xavier High School, our uniform reflects our identity and our strong Catholic traditions, founded in the spirit of the Mercy Sisters and the Christian Brothers. Reflecting the colours and symbols that connect us to our environment and our faith heritage, our uniform is to be worn by all students and is to be maintained in good condition at all times.
At Xavier, each student is issued their own device, a Chromebook, to assist with their Learning. The cost of the device is included in the school fees and is updated every two years, ensuring we keep the latest technology in the hands of our students.
Students are supplied with a device, carry case and a charging cord.
It is imperative that students use their Chromebooks in an acceptable and ethical manner and as a learning tool. Programs that allow students to access the internet, online chat and email, should be used in a responsible manner. Breaches of the user agreement will result in disciplinary measures.

Bike racks are provided near the Fallon St Gate. Bikes & helmets should be locked for the duration of the school day.
Please go to the NSW Department of Transport to apply for a bus pass for your child. Bus passes are handed out in homeroom once received from the bus company.
The pick-up and drop-off of students is recommended on Fallon Street (paying attention to the parking signs as parking authorities conduct random checks from time to time). It is not recommended to use Currawong Street or Curlew Crescent. Buses currently use these two streets and as such the congestion in the streets has the potential to cause a significant accident along with restricting access for residents to their own properties.
Please ensure you do not park over any of the car park driveways as this blocks staff & visitors to the school from coming or going.
Please do not double park as this poses a safety risk.
All students at Xavier High School have access to the School Canteen, which is open Monday to Friday and provides a range of snacks and lunch foods (both hot and cold). These vary between the summer and winter seasons to offer appropriate options to students.
Students have the opportunity to purchase a range of foods at recess and at lunchtime. Lunch items may be pre-ordered in person by submitting a written request on a lunch bag via the drop box in the canteen. These orders must be submitted prior to 11am each day.
The canteen accepts cash, eftpos or via the Qkr App
The Qkr App allows users to order and pay for lunch online. App users can top up their accounts to allow cashless purchases at the canteen.
It’s easy to place Canteen lunch orders using the Qkr app.
Lunch orders close at 9.30am each day
Here’s a quick guide on how to easily start a new lunch order.
Compass is our Student Information System. This is where excursion notes, attendance notes and other student information can be lodged.
In Compass parents can also get important alerts and messages, access student reports and make Parent, Teacher & Student Conference bookings.
Schoology is our Learning Management System. This is where student learning resources, assessment and general lessons can be accessed or viewed.

The Edmund Rice Resource Centre is open from 8am – 4pm daily and students are welcome to use this space before school, during recess & lunch and after school.
All students have their own locker in which they keep their bag, books and other belongings. A lock will need to be purchased by you to keep the locker secure. Students are expected to keep their locker neat and tidy. The locker areas are equipped with closed circuit video surveillance.
Chromebook Devices are provided to all students at Xavier High School. Text books are included in the cost of the tuition fees and are provided by the school.
At Xavier we believe in providing students with opportunities to learn how to balance mobile phone usage appropriately to prepare them for life beyond school. Mobile phones may not be used at recess and lunch times, however can be used in the classroom at the direction of the teacher.
They should be turned off at all other times (this includes during study lessons).
Inappropriate use of a mobile phone will result in its confiscation.
