About
ABOUT US
Xavazine is the magazine of Xaverian College, a Sixth Form College in the city of Manchester in the U.K.. Our magazine is a mix of news, culture, sport, lifestyle and student creative work. We will cover stories from our college, our local communities, Manchester and also have a global outlook.
We want to be a voice for everyone at Xaverian and will always aim to be inclusive of the different people we have in our college community. We also aim to raise the voices of those that are often ignored by mainstream media, including people of colour, LGBTQ+ people and working class people.
In a world with increasing disinformation, we will always do our best to be accurate and respectful of individuals and communities. We want to be relevant to our audience, but also to be open minded and curious. We will offer a real variety and diversity in our content and will aim to be an entertaining and inspirational read.
