One of the artworks in the Oor Wullie's WEE Bucket Trail. Oor Xavier, created by St Aloysius' College Junior School is located inside the Mitchell Library. Oor Xavier' was designed by the children in Xavier House. Each child in Xavier was given the task of creating their own sculpture using 'school life' as their inspiration. Sections of 4 designs were then chosen by our House Captains and used to create 'Oor Xavier'. The bucket signifies the 4 House colours within the Junior School, the tartan trousers are for our Scottish heritage, the shirt symbolises our subjects and activities within the school and the rainbow hair and red nose - well, why not!
