A Message from the Oxley Leadership Team: Welcome to 2024!

This year our leadership team has chosen a new theme through which our House and College Captains will be running events and inspiring change in the community.

Our theme this year is connections! Connection is integral to Oxley’s defined sense of community and is already part of the wellness framework that we have in place. Through positive connection we can promote more positive understanding of each other’s differences and celebrate each other’s successes.

Everything at Oxley is connected, from the pen in your hand to the amphitheatre stairs; all the staff, students, parents, and carers are part of this community. Through our theme, we aim to bring attention to the deep interconnected web of connection within Oxley and promote the continuation and development of new positive connections. At Oxley connections are so much more then people, with trips such as Rites of Passage, Nepal and Outback we not only foster connections with your year group, but with the land and ourselves.

To help display the image of connections we have recruited the House Captains, who, through each embodying a subtheme of connection, will run an activity, to encourage the connections within the Oxley community to flourish.   

We have already had an awesome Florey event with Year 7s and Year 12 students having a ‘speed-chats’ event at lunch under their theme of relationships. However, there’s a lot more to look forward to with Monash’s theme of effort, Dobell’s theme of generosity, Oodgeroo on Open Hearts, Mawson on spirit, and Durack on unity. Each will have their own events which they will announce at future Assemblies.
