Transformative Learning Through Global & Local Experiences

From the Director of Co-Curricular P-12, Christophe Gauchat

Oxley College is proud to offer a range of dynamic experiential learning opportunities in 2025, designed to develop well-rounded, globally-minded individuals. Aligned with the Round Square IDEALS—Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership, and Service—these programs inspire personal growth, foster cultural awareness, and encourage meaningful community engagement.

Internationalism: Students explore diverse cultures and traditions, from the bustling streets of Bangkok to the serene landscapes of Nepal and Japan. These experiences promote intercultural understanding and empathy, preparing students for a globalized world.

Environmentalism: Programs like snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef or trekking through the Himalayas highlight the importance of environmental stewardship. Students engage with real-world challenges, learning about sustainability and conservation in action.

Adventure: Activities such as mountain biking, backcountry skiing, and Himalayan treks cultivate resilience, teamwork, and a sense of adventure. These challenges encourage students to step out of their comfort zones and grow in confidence.

Service and Leadership: Whether assisting rural communities in NSW or working on school projects in Nepal, students develop leadership skills while making meaningful contributions to the lives of others.
