Oxley Sport 2024 Highlights
It has been another fantastic year of sport at Oxley, filled with memorable moments from ISA Sport to carnivals, representative honours, and last week’s Supporters’ Day. We would like to extend a sincere thank you to our dedicated coaches, supportive parents, and, of course, the students, for their enthusiasm and commitment to all aspects of Oxley sport.
Looking ahead to 2025, we are excited about some new and exciting initiatives we have in store and look forward to seeing the continued growth and success of Oxley Sport. As we head into the holiday season, we hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing break. In the spirit of staying healthy and active, Mrs Devlin (Oxley Gym) has emailed students a training program that they can use over the holidays to maintain their fitness and skills.
Please take a look below at some highlights from Oxley Sport in 2024, as shared by our coaches and students:
