A Message from the Oxley Leadership Team
As we are in the midst of Term One, we wanted to say congratulations on making it this far. Transitioning back into the school routine has presented its challenges, but it’s impressive to see how everyone has found their footing and settled into the rhythm of the school year.
With the Summer Sports season drawing to a close, we want to take a moment to commend our athletes for their hard work and dedication. It’s been great to witness the passion and commitment displayed by our teams, with many of them making the semifinals and finals. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our coaches for their guidance and support throughout the season – thank you!
As we turn our attention to the upcoming Winter Sport trials, we encourage everyone to give it a go. We’re gearing up to showcase our talents and represent Oxley College with pride on the sporting fields.
However, if sport aren’t your thing, the arts have been in full swing recently! We congratulate everyone involved in The Book of Everything and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Additionally, music ensembles are back in action, and we encourage everyone to get involved in choir, strings, band, and pipes and drums.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of school life, there’s one member of the Oxley community who has managed to steal the spotlight —Clover, our beloved therapy dog. With her wagging tail and gentle demeanour, Clover brings excitement and opportunities for the whole school. We look forward to meeting Clover and can’t wait to see the positive impact she will make in our community.
As we navigate the academic year, let us remember the importance of connections and support within our school community. Whether you’re a Year 7 finding your place or a Year 12 facing the pressures of exams and future plans, know that you’re not alone. Lean on your peers, seek guidance from your teachers, and prioritise self-care along the way.
As Ms Whiteley says, the last 10% takes 90% of the effort, so let’s finish this term well!
