At Oxley, activities beyond the classroom are very much a key component of the education we provide.
Abundant opportunities exist for students to explore their gifts in cultural, sporting, community service and outdoor activities. As well as acquiring particular skills, students test and develop their sense of self, their commitment to a group exercise and teamwork in all its complexity.
Some of these activities are compulsory; others are a matter of choice. All students are encouraged to explore these offerings, try new activities and find interests they enjoy and find rewarding.
