Our Beaconsfield campus is where St Francis Xavier College was first established in 1978, and we have built a trusted reputation as one of the best Catholic schools in Melbourne, serving the families of Beaconsfield, Berwick, Pakenham and the wider south eastern suburbs.

Our Approach

Guided by Catholic school values and a culture of excellence, our staff across all campuses emphasise helping students develop not only their academic potential but also their character. Teachers, staff, and students collaborate to grow personally and become people for others, fostering a supportive learning environment that responds to the needs of modern Catholic students. With a vision to become the best secondary school in the region, our commitment to inspiring creativity, innovation, and personal development extends from our Berwick, Officer and Beaconsfield campuses, preparing students to thrive in life and glorify God in all they do.

In everything, we believe in providing a solid foundation for students. We echo the words of the parable of the sower:

‘’Then he told them many things in parables, saying: ‘A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.’’

— Matthew 13:3-8 (NIV)

Curriculum

Finishing the school journey strong is essential for students to move forwards confidently and eagerly. Our goal is to ensure that every student’s unique needs are met with a diverse range of programs and reassurance from a steadfast wider College community. Students complete either a VCE or VCE – VM pathway to finish off their schooling, gaining knowledge, growing personally and building life skills to see them through further important experiences beyond school.

Our Community

Our College goal is consistent across all campuses: facilitate positive learning experiences and develop students that are guided by faith and a sense of hope. Our ambition is to impact with intent — we want to extend beyond being a Berwick catholic school and help students play a positive role in the world they live in.

St Francis Xavier College aspires to be one of the best schools in south east Melbourne. We hope to ensure that we are a catholic school Berwick, Narre Warren, Cranbourne and Clyde parents can fully trust to create a fulfilling education journey for their children.

Transport options

The Beaconsfield Campus is located at 4 Beaconsfield Avenue, Beaconsfield 3807, and can be accessed via a number of transport options. Beaconsfield Railway Station is a 5 minute walk from campus and can be accessed via the Pakenham Line. Students wishing to take the bus are advised to use the PTV Journey Planner on the PTV website.

We run an extensive fleet of private buses for parents seeking catholic school transportation. These buses run from Ventura Transit to assist families in getting students to and from school, at an annual subsidised cost of $1,050 per student.

The campus has specified pick up and drop off zones located at the front of the school on Beaconsfield Avenue. Cars are permitted to drive into the campus at the start of the school day and use the 5 minute drop off zones. At the end of the school day cars are not permitted inside the school gates. We also have an informal arrangement with Beaconsfield Baptist Church for their carpark to be used as a pick up and drop off zone, and for licenced Year 12 students to park their cars during the day.

Some students may be eligible for a Travel Conveyance Allowance, a financial support program aimed at assisting with the cost of transport.
