CEO of the Xavier Catholic Education Trust, James Kibble said, "We are delighted to be celebrating another year of exceptional academic results across all our secondary schools. This success is a testament not only to the hard work and dedication of our students, but also to the strength of our Catholic ethos, which underpins everything we do.
At Xavier, we believe in nurturing the whole child—academically, spiritually, and emotionally. Our outstanding pastoral care ensures that every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
We are deeply grateful to our talented and committed staff, whose tireless efforts and unwavering belief in our mission have made these achievements possible. As our students move on to the next stage of their education, we look forward to seeing them continue to flourish, guided by the values that define our community.”
