Reunion Night
Xaverian was recently delighted to welcome back many of last year's leavers for a special reunion night, when students were able to share a drink with staff and friends and collect their hard-earned certificates.
The night was very well-attended, and the college was particularly delighted to welcome back two students to speak to the attendees. Becky Sefton from last year's upper sixth gave a speech to her contemporaries about her time at Xaverian, and Marquelle Ward, who left Xaverian 6 years ago, came back to share stories of his career since leaving college, as well as recollecting his time at Xavs. Marquelle has had a great career as an actor and dancer since leaving Xaverian, starring in ITV's 'Britannia High' as well as appearing in 'Dance X' and winning numerous dance competitions.
