Head of College

It has been an action-packed semester at Oxley College and I do hope that you are able to spend some time with your families over the break.

For our Year 12 students, this time will involve preparation for their upcoming HSC Trial Examinations and I would like to thank the many staff who will be giving their time to come in during the break to assist our students with their preparation.

Over the break our Snowsports program will get underway. This year we have the biggest team representing Oxley for many years, with more than 45 students competing. I would like to wish them all the best as they represent their school.

Over the break we will also begin to receive the feedback from the recent MMG survey. I am incredibly grateful for the many parents who completed this survey, and we will be using this to inform our strategic planning into the future. The Board of Governors and the College Executive will be meeting to begin this process in early Term 3. We look forward to sharing this with you towards the end of 2024.

Term 3 begins with a Pupil-Free Day on Monday 22 July. Staff will spend this day working with clinical psychologist Dr Judith Locke, who will be working closely with the staff to continue to develop their skills in caring for the students in the school.

I highly encourage all parents to come to the sessions Dr Locke is running for parents on Tuesday 23 July (Pre K-6) and Wednesday 24 July (7 – 12). I have no doubt they will be invaluable for all parents who attend. I had the pleasure to attend a session with Judith last year and found her approach to be incredibly useful for my own parenting.

I look forward to welcoming students back to School on Tuesday 23 July, which will also be our Senior School Athletics Carnival. Have a wonderful break and if you are travelling, please stay safe.

Yours sincerely

Mr Scott Bedingfield
Head of College
