Exciting Milestone: New Classrooms on the Way!
We are delighted to share that the next exciting step in Oxley’s campus development will happen this week! Over the weekend of Saturday 3 May and into Monday 5 May, a total of six new modular classrooms will be craned into place.
These fresh, flexible spaces are an important part of our vision for a dynamic and contemporary learning environment at Oxley College. Designed to encourage collaboration, creativity, and connection, the new classrooms will provide outstanding spaces for our students and teachers now and into the future.
On Saturday, the first four classrooms will be installed, and on Monday, two more will arrive — right in the heart of a regular school day. It promises to be an exciting moment for students and staff to witness, as the crane lifts these impressive new buildings into place!
Thank You to Our Community
We would like to sincerely thank all our families, students and staff for their patience, flexibility and support during the construction phase so far. We know that temporary disruptions to parking, access and familiar routes around campus can require extra planning and patience, and we are deeply grateful for the way our community has embraced these changes with such good spirit.
A few weeks ago, we also updated our worksite hoardings with the rendered images of the new classrooms. We encourage you to take a look if you haven’t already as they offer a glimpse of the inspiring learning environments we are building together.
Traffic and Access Changes – Monday 5 May
To ensure the safe delivery of the final two pods on Monday, please note the following temporary arrangements for Monday only:
- Railway Road will remain open, with traffic staff on site to assist vehicles onto site.
- A temporary carpark and turning circle will be available on Governors Field.
- Our community will be guided on how to access the school via a pedestrian walkway from the carpark to the school entrance near the Pavilion.
- The Senior School drop-off zone will operate as normal and may also be used by Junior School families.
- Some areas — including the main driveway parking, the Junior School carpark, part of the Junior School playground, and the Peter Craig Centre — will be closed during crane operations.
You will be assisted by parking and walking wardens on how to enter the school so please enjoy the morning drop off and defer to them for directions.
Full details of the changed traffic conditions can be found through the link below.
We appreciate your understanding and care as we work together to keep our community safe during this busy and exciting time.
Thank you once again for your support. We can’t wait to see these new classrooms buzzing with learning, energy, and life!
We are also delighted to officially welcome some new members to our College Services team. Emma Reilly has joined us three days a week on Reception, and Justine Smith, who many of you will recognise from her previous casual work, is now with us in a permanent role — supporting Reception two days a week and dedicating two days to Alumni and Development . Rachel Martin joins us as the new Canteen Supervisor, and Chris Moerkerken joins our IT Department as ICT Manager. I hope you join me in welcoming these new staff members to the Oxley community.
