Senior School Sport Update
Welcome back to Senior School Sport for 2026 at Oxley College. We are excited to see our students return to training and competition, and look forward to another year of strong participation, teamwork and success. With a full calendar of fixtures and carnivals ahead, 2026 promises to be an exciting and rewarding year.
Please keep an eye out in the coming weeks for the 2026 Sport Booklet, which will outline several exciting updates to our sport program for this year as well as key dates for 2026. The booklet will also provide important information about a new process for students and parents to select the sports they will commit to throughout the year.

ISA Summer Season
A reminder that Round 7 of the summer ISA season begins on Saturday 31 January. There will be training on Thursday 29 January for 1st Teams only. All other summer sport teams will return to training as per their schedule from Week 2 onwards. All training sessions and fixtures are visible via Clipboard (students) and the Oxley App (parents).
Oxley Swimming Program (Update!)
We are excited to announce that we are now offering Wednesday afternoon Swim Training in the lead up to the Oxley College and ISA Swimming Carnivals. Training will take place from 4.00pm – 5.00pm at Bowral Swimming Pool. Students will need to make their own way to and from the pool.
We have enlisted the help of Mitch Falvey, an experienced and highly regarded swimming coach with a strong background in developing and coaching high-level swimmers, including those competing at Commonwealth and Olympic levels. Mitch brings a professional and supportive approach to training and will focus on improving technique, fitness, and race readiness in the lead-up to the carnivals.
Please note – This program is not a ‘learn to swim’ program and will be squad style training for experienced swimmers, likely to be selected in the ISA Swim Team.
The dates for Swim Training and Carnivals are below:
- Wednesday Feb 4th – Swim Training
- Wednesday Feb 11th – Swim Training
- Wednesday Feb 18th – Swim Training
- Wednesday Feb 25th – Oxley College Swimming Carnival (no Swim Training)

ISA and CIS Representative Opportunities
Oxley College students are eligible for ISA selection in a range of pathway sports—sports for which the ISA does not run a Saturday competition. These pathway sports include AFL, Baseball, Diving, Golf, Boys’ Hockey, Rugby League, Sailing, Boys’ Softball, Triathlon, Volleyball, and Water Polo.
If you would like your child to be considered for nomination in any of these sports, please email sport.admin@oxley.nsw.edu.au with a brief outline of their achievements and representative history.
Please note that final decisions regarding nominations are made by the Head of Sport.
Junior Boys and Girls Touch Football – Players Wanted!
Some of our Junior Boys’ and Girls’ Touch Football teams are seeking additional players for the second half of the ISA Summer Season. New Year 7 students, as well as students in Years 8 and 9 who are interested, are encouraged to contact sport.admin@oxley.nsw.edu.au. No experience necessary!
Joining a Summer Sport team is a great way to start the year, enjoy the remaining warm weather, develop new skills, and make new friends.
Kind regards
