St. Xavier’s College has been operating for five years. The College is based in Sydney CBD and offers a range of courses in management, business and IT. It currently has around 400 students enrolled across all of its courses. Courses are offered at all levels from Diploma to Advanced Diploma. The College is very popular due to its competitive pricing structure, innovative teaching methods and state of the art facilities.

The College currently employs 16 staff members that include the CEO, a Marketing Manager and Marketing Assistant, Human Resources Manager, Operations and Finance Manager, Administration Manager, Office Assistant, Receptionist, Academic Manager, Student Services Officer and approximately 8 trainers.

Due to the success of the College, the College plans to establish two additional campuses, one in Brisbane and one in Canberra. The plan is for the Canberra campus to commence operating in January 2021 and Brisbane in April 2021.Ideally, campuses will be located close to the CBD and a maximum rental budget of $ $400,000 in Brisbane and $200,000 in Canberra has been allocated.

With regard to staffing at each campus, it is anticipated that initially each campus will require a receptionist, student services officer and 2 trainers. The receptionist and student services officer positions will be permanent, full-time staff and the 2 trainers will be contract staff.

Existing staff at the Sydney campus will complete all other staff functions until such time as student numbers increase substantially. It is anticipated that maximum student numbers at the new campuses will be up to 60 students per campus in the first 12 months of operations.

The College will also need to purchase a range of office equipment for the new campuses, as well as furniture for 100 students per campus. The College has kept the expansion plans very quiet due to their competition hot on their heels. They are waiting for the Trademarks to come through so need to protect their intellectual property throughout the process.
