Xavier College is about to write another chapter in their twenty-six-year history as next week they officially open the doors at their second campus at 1 Benjamin Franklin Boulevard at Two Wells. Initially, the Campus will cater for students in Reception-Year 6.
It has been a busy past twelve months for the College since the announcement that they would open a school at Two Wells
Under the direction of Catholic Education SA, the $10 million dollar project has seen builders, Mossop Construction + Interiors, Edge Architects, and the College work tirelessly over the past seven months of the construction phase to bring their combined vision to life.
Almost 160 students will begin their educational journey at the College this Term.
“The school will be the 111th Catholic school campus in South Australia.” says Dr Neil McGoran, Director, Catholic Education South Australia.
“This new school is part of our commitment to expanding Catholic Education pathways for children and young people. Xavier College has a very strong reputation in the local community and this new school will enable us to work in partnership with families from Two Wells and the surrounding areas to provide their children with an excellent Catholic education.”
The College is led by Mark Flaherty, the College Principal, with Janet Coomber, Head of Campus at Two Wells (Years R-6) and John Cameron, Head of Campus at the Gawler Belt Campus (Years 7-12).
The campus has state-of-the-art facilities (including green screen technology), hub space for larger gatherings, maker space, outdoor kitchen and nature play areas.
Passionate and accomplished teaching and support staff have been selected and are excited by the possibilities of the new campus under the leadership of Janet and her team.
The College has a House and Oratory (Home Class) structure. This structure is designed so that the children under Xavier’s care are “genuinely known” by the staff and are given opportunities for leadership along the way.
