A Warm Welcome

Dear Old Oxleyans

For those of you I haven’t met yet, my name is Scott Bedingfield, and I have had the honour of being the Head at Oxley for just shy of two years. I am a career educator; a passionate Maths Teacher and I pride myself on keeping our students at the core of all that we do. I am happy to admit that I had been a fan of Oxley College and had been following the schools progress for many years, before being appointed Head of College.

As I always say to our Oxley students and parents: my door is always open, and this applies to all of our Alumni family as well. Oxley College is a part of your story, just as you are a part of ours. Whether you graduated recently or decades ago, the bond we share remains strong, and I encourage you to stay connected with us.

Each year, as a new class graduate, the Old Oxleyan network expands, sending our students out into the world, beyond our grounds, to pursue their dreams and make their mark. Yet no matter where life takes you, I hope you always remember that Oxley is your home. We are proud of your achievements, and we are eager to hear from you—whether at an event, by sharing your story for our new website, or simply dropping us a line to let us know how you’re doing.

In this edition of the newsletter, you’ll find many opportunities to reconnect with us and with one another. It’s a joy to witness the strength of the Oxleyan community as it continues to thrive, and your involvement is key to that.

I also wanted to share a moment from the recent Class of 2024 Graduation Ceremony. During the celebration, we showed a heartwarming video featuring some of our Kindergarten students. It was a beautiful reminder that, whether young or old(er), near or far, we are all Oxleyans together.

Thank you for being a part of this wonderful community. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing how you continue to contribute to the world as proud Oxleyans.

Mr Scott Bedingfield
Head of College
