Xavier College aims to promote connectivity, collaboration, partnerships and alignment within and beyond the College community and to emphasise the quality of relationships throughout the College community, underpinned by respect, listening, thinking, reflection, discernment and conversation.

The Old Xaverians’ Association (OXA) exists to promote the welfare and advancement of Xavier College through the activities of the past students. It seeks to remain engaged with as many past students of Xavier College as possible through reunions, events and ongoing communication.  

The OXA liaises with past students to organise and facilitate reunions both locally and around the world. In recent years, the OXA has organised reunions in Melbourne, Sydney, Hong Kong, Singapore, London and New York.  

History

The history of the Old Xaverians’ Association (OXA) dates back to 2 November 1898, when the inaugural meeting of Xavier College past students was held.

The formation of the Association marked an important step in establishing a formal connection between former students and the College. Over the years, the OXA has evolved alongside Xavier College, reflecting the growth of the College and the generations of students who have passed through its gates.

Across more than a century, the Association has remained an important part of the Xavier story. Its history is one of continuity, shaped by generations of Old Xaverians and their ongoing connection to the traditions, friendships and values established during their time at the College.

The OXA’s long history is an important part of Xavier College’s heritage, providing a link between past generations of students, the present College community and those who will follow.
