Pre-Kindergarten Information
Thursday 29 January 2026 – Welcome Day
All Pre-K students are very welcome to drop in on Thursday 29 January in casual clothes to see their classroom, enjoy their new playground and meet their teacher, at a time convenient for your family between 2.00pm and 3.00pm.
The invitation is extended to all Pre-K students, no matter the days they will normally attend, and is entirely optional.
Friday 30 January 2026 – First Day of Classes
Term 1 commences on Friday 30 January at 8.45am.
For Pre-K this means those students who attend 5 days and those who attend Wednesday – Friday will be at School. For those attending Monday – Wednesday, they will commence on Monday 2 February.
Students are to wear full Pre-K Summer Uniform. Pre-K students should go directly to their classroom. Parents can kiss and drop after their child has settled. Please be reassured our staff will be present to support.
If you have any questions, please reach out to the College on office@oxley.nsw.edu.au or call on 4861 1366 and we will be able to help.
Morning Drop Off
There is a teacher on duty at 8.20am each morning for student supervision. Pre-K students are supervised outside in their play area from 8.20am. Classrooms are not open until 8.40am to allow teachers to prepare for the day and attend meetings. Students should not be dropped off before 8.20am as there is no supervision provided.
Traffic Management Plan
Two family name signs will be issued on Friday 30 January via your eldest child. One of these will need to be visible on the passenger sun visor when you arrive each day at the campus for pick up. Should you require additional signs, please email studentservices@oxley.nsw.edu.au Please do not arrive in the Junior School Turning Circle before your allocated time.
Pre-K: pick up time is 3.00pm
Kindergarten to Year 2: pick up time is 3.05pm
Year 3 to Year 6: pick up time is 3.15pm
Parents & Carers will be asked to move around if their child is not ready to be picked up so arriving a few minutes later is often the best practice. Detailed information on the Traffic Management Plan can be found by following this link: Oxley College Traffic Management Plan
Please read this carefully to ensure you are up to date with pick up arrangements.
Student Wellbeing
Please ensure your child has their hat and a drink bottle each day as these are the basic essentials required, especially for a hot start to the term. Unfortunately, due to health and hygiene reasons we are not able to provide any spares for lost or missing hats. Please remember that if a student does not have their hat at recess or lunch, they will need to remain under cover.
Student Services For P-6 / School Nurse
The Elvo building, which is the white building where our P-12 College Reception is located, also houses Student Services P-12 and the Clinic. If your child is late to school, you need an early pick up or you need further information, please contact Student Services via student.services@oxley.nsw.edu.au.
You are welcome to access Student Services and The Clinic during the school day via the second driveway.
Recess and Lunch
Our students have a Fruit Break around 10.00am each morning. For fruit break we encourage families to pack either fruit or vegetable snacks. Recess is at 10.51am and lunch is at 1.06pm. As we are a nut aware school, please avoid all nut products (including peanut butter and Nutella) due to students with anaphylactic reactions. For safety reasons, students are not encouraged to share food.
Canteen
A reminder to update your child’s class on the Flexischools website or App. Pre K students are able to order from the Canteen and their lunch orders will be delivered to the classroom.
After School Care
Our After School Care service is situated in the grounds of Oxley College. They are open Monday to Friday during school terms from 3.15pm until 6.00pm.

P-12 Parent Contact List
Each year we distribute a Parent Contact List. This list includes names, mobile phone numbers and email addresses. If you do not wish to include your details in this Parent Contact List, please contact Alex Stone on 4861 1366 or office@oxley.nsw.edu.au by Friday 6 February. We would like to distribute this list as soon as possible. We will only distribute your child’s year group contact list.
Important Note: The Parent Contact list is not to be used for marketing or publicity purposes. This is a list only to be used within the Oxley community. (Please select BCC when emailing a group.) It is a serious breach of confidentiality if a parent uses it for their own business distribution.
