She laughs, saying she\u2019s \u201ccome full circle now\u201d with her children enrolled at Oxley since Year 7 and herself working here for over 8 years. During her time at Oxley, Alex has been much more than our Receptionist and Enrolments Assistant &#8211; she\u2019s been the face of the school, often the first point of contact for families, students, and staff alike. Through this role, she\u2019s built strong relationships, gained invaluable insight into the needs of the school community and developed a deep understanding of the intricacies of Oxley\u2019s day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hands-on experience, paired with her personal investment in the College, makes Alex\u2019s transition to Registrar feel like a natural progression. Before returning to Oxley, Alex was the Assistant Director of Strategic Communications at NHS Blood and Transplant in the UK, where she honed her skills in marketing, communications, and public relations. This combination of a solid PR background and her experience managing the school\u2019s front lines means Alex is more than qualified\u2014she\u2019s uniquely equipped to serve the entire Oxley community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What truly sets Alex apart, however, is her unwavering commitment to people. It\u2019s never just about processes or numbers for her\u2014it\u2019s about creating a welcoming and supportive environment where every individual feels valued. Whether she\u2019s easing the concerns of a nervous parent or guiding a new student through their enrolment journey, Alex\u2019s warmth, thoughtfulness, and expertise shine through in everything she does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/04\/Alex-Stone-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/04\/Alex-Stone-2-1024x590.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/04\/Alex-Stone-2-1024x590.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/04\/Alex-Stone-2-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/04\/Alex-Stone-2-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/04\/Alex-Stone-2-1536x884.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/04\/Alex-Stone-2-261x150.jpg 261w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2025\/04\/Alex-Stone-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">**************<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s an exciting time for Oxley College, with a number of new building projects underway that are set to transform the campus and enhance the student experience for years to come. Among the most anticipated projects are the six new classrooms, which are progressing well and are expected to be ready for students in Semester 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some day-to-day access and egress points have been slightly impacted, learning and all other co-curricular activities have continue as usual during the careful planning of this construction phase. These six classrooms are designed to provide our students with state-of-the-art learning environments that support collaboration, creativity, and innovation. The new classrooms will offer the flexibility and modern amenities necessary to foster academic success and engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of our new collaborative Strategic Plan, and after taking careful note of the MMG survey results from our community, we are investing in our infrastructure and our students\u2019 future. We\u2019re excited to see the impact these new spaces will have and can\u2019t wait for everyone to experience them when they open their doors.
