There are many notable former students—known as "Old Xaverians" (Old Xavs)—and members of the "Old Xaverians' Association" ("OXA") of the Roman Catholic school Xavier College in Kew, Victoria, Australia. Most entries here have been sourced to the official announcement of the Old Xaverians' Association "Roll of Men of Achievement" announced at the 71st Annual Old Xaverians' Dinner held at Xavier College on 21 March 1997.
