OXLEY CHRISTIAN COLLEGE

Oxley Christian College is committed to excellence in all aspects of school life. Our team of dedicated and passionate teachers seek to meet the educational needs of all students whilst instructing and encouraging them in the development of Christian faith and values, sound study habits, leadership skills and a desire to serve their community.

Facilities:  Set on 70 acres of beautiful grounds at Chirnside Park, our campus has impressive facilities. The Early Learning Centre, Oxley Kids, caters for children from 18 weeks to school entry age in a vibrant, purpose built centre. We are excited to announce the construction of our new, state of the art Junior School has commenced with completion set for mid-2021. All Junior and Senior classrooms are well equipped and air conditioned. Outstanding specialist facilities include the Senior Science Complex, Performing Arts Centre, Visual Arts and Design Centre, Library Resource Centre, Food Technology Complex, Education Support Centre and Junior, Senior and VCE Information Technology Laboratories. There is a chapel, theatre and assembly hall. The well-known Oxley Stadium accommodates five competition-sized basketball courts suitable for all indoor sports, a Fitness Centre and sports cafe. There are extensive ovals, playing fields, outdoor courts and play equipment.

Curriculum: A unique Early Learning program provides Preschool and Prep students with sound educational foundations. The Junior School provides strong, sequential programs of Literacy and Numeracy, Integrated Studies, Sciences, SOSE, LOTE, Biblical Studies, Music, Art, Drama, Health, Physical Education and Sport. In the Senior School, Years 7 to 10 students are involved in a richly diverse program, engaging all students in learning which encourages academic rigour and involvement in a wealth of activities, including off-campus learning. In Years 11 and 12, a wide range of VCE studies prepares students for entry to all tertiary courses. Year 10 students may fast track into the VCE, which gives opportunities for more intensive study in Years 11 and 12.

Extra-curricular activities: Inter-house and EISM Inter-school Sports, Duke of Edinburgh program, interstate and international tours, student exchange, debating and an exciting camps program. A comprehensive Performing Arts program includes individual instrumental tuition, bands, choirs and ensembles and major musical and theatrical productions. Chapel services, prayer groups, peer support and community service programs are vibrant practical expressions of Christian faith and values.

Student welfare programs: Counselling and pastoral care are freely available from the College chaplain, College psychologist, home group teachers, year-level co-ordinators, and special education teachers and careers counsellors.

Scholarships: We offer scholarships in Year 5 and Year 7 through to Year 11. For more information regarding the application and testing process, please visit our website.
