Oxley Out and About
Recently, Year 1 presented their Grandfriends from Harbison Care with an underwater-inspired artwork. Having worked with their friends from The Creative Club on this piece for a while, it meant a lot for the Year 1s to share this with those from Harbison. Harbison residents liked the painting so much that they have decided to have it hung up in the dining hall for all residents to look at and enjoy.
Well done Year 1.
Congratulations to those students involved in the 2023 Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee.
The event allows students to complete 30 spelling words in a fun and fast-paced environment where accuracy is key, while competing against other students around Australia.
Congratulations to George H, Fred R and Tarik A, who were selected to represent Southern Highlands in the Boys under 13 NSW State Championships for Hockey NSW, held in Tamworth between July 14 and 16, 2023. The team became the Division 2 NSW under 13s Boys State Field Champions and went undefeated throughout their whole season, competing against 12 teams across 2 divisions, scoring 27 goals and only having 6 scored against them.
Looking beyond the success of the team, the Oxley boys had a wonderful experience that they will cherish for years to come, making new friends while competing at the highest level, with George and Fred selected in the NSW State squad for trials.
WORLD CHAMPION! Incredible achievements by Senior School Techer Meaghan Stanton, who has recently participated in the Masters Mountain Bike World Championships in the marathon division, just south of Perth.
She came first in her race and is now a world champion mountain biker!
“It was a super tough race and I’m exhausted but feeling very proud of my efforts, after months of training,” said Meaghan after her race.
NEWS FROM ABROAD: Harry Keats won the Mille Gruyère, in Switzerland. It’s a 1000m race which is their national championship race and open to foreigners. He also beat the race record by 4 seconds. Well done Harry!
