The role of the Classroom Teacher is central to student life at Xavier College. Building strong, supportive relationships is at the heart of what we do, as it enhances the wellbeing and learning of every student.

Referred to as SPOC Meetings, they will take place in the week prior to the start of the school year. Details about how to book your meeting will be emailed to you closer to this date. At this time you will also be advised of your child’s classroom and House allocation.

With new faces, new spaces, and new ways of doing things, starting school brings a lot of change.

Our Welcome to Reception Booklet is a simple way to help your child become familiar with their school environment before the year begins. It includes photos and simple descriptions of the main areas around the campus, some of the people they will meet, and the new experiences that lay ahead for them.

Looking through the booklet together with your child can help them recognise familiar faces and places, making their first day feel more comfortable and exciting.

To help your child start each day ready for learning and success, please ensure they bring the following items from the first day of school:
