Xavier Catholic College is supported and partially funded by the Catholic School's Office of the Diocese of Wagga Wagga and accommodates approximately 900 students between Year 7 and Year 12.

[1] The school's motto is taken from verse 8:32 of the Gospel of John, which reads, "the truth will set you free."

Catholic schooling in the Albury region dates back to 1868, when the Sisters of Mercy established St Brigid's College on a small plot of land owned by St Patrick's Parish, in South Albury.

In 1885, the Patrician Brothers opened a school for boys in an adjacent block in Olive Street, also owned by St Patrick's Parish.

Extracurricular activities include Musical Performance evenings, Art Exhibitions, Stage Productions and involvement in ANZAC day services.
