XAVERIANS can now walk down memory lane at the newly opened SXI Heritage Centre at St Xavier’s Institution, Penang.

The centre showcases many panels from different eras, including a time capsule that was buried under the school’s foundation stone in 1952, an 1888 SXI donors’ plaque, a pair of century-old stone lions and three travel chests believed to have been brought by the first three Lasallian Brothers in 1852.
