ABOUT OAKLEIGH GRAMMAR

Welcome

Oakleigh Grammar is a Kinder to Year 12 co-educational Christian school that has been empowering young minds since 1983. At the core of our identity is our diverse, inclusive and family-oriented culture that welcomes students and their families with open arms. We believe in nurturing strong relationships built on respect, trust and empathy in an environment where diversity is celebrated and inclusion is encouraged.

Ethos

We are inspired by:

• Values that are founded in our Orthodox Christianity, and Hellenic language and heritage.
• Innovation that emerges from future-focused thinking about education and the world.
• Citizenship that is responsible and respectful.
• Scholarship that is demonstrated through excellence and effort.

We express our ethos through the character of “a zest for life” and the values of: venture, identity, courage and service.

Global perspective

Our school aims to be globally-focused in the truest sense, encouraging our students to develop awareness beyond themselves, the school gate and their immediate community. We aim to develop engaged global citizens who seek to actively make a positive difference in the world.  

Leading edge learning

We have a child-centred approach to learning with additional teaching support to ensure that each child’s learning needs are met. Every student is encouraged to perform at their best and continually improve, whether they are high performing, experience learning challenges, or fall somewhere in between.

From the Principal

Oakleigh Grammar embraces students from many different countries and cultures by cultivating a unique, welcoming and inclusive community. In fact, parents often remark that the young people at our School are more like members of an extended family such is the individual care and attention they receive.

As a globally-minded and visionary school, every effort is made to encourage student participation in activities and contemporary learning programs that are both authentic and meaningful. There is truly something for everyone, and we value each and every student.

Oakleigh Grammar has rapidly become a school with an international focus including regular acknowledgment and exploration of cultural diversity through various aspects of daily life at the school.

Together with our caring and committed staff, I wholeheartedly welcome you to Oakleigh Grammar!
