The College took its name from the famous early Australian explorer, John Oxley, and looks up to the hill named after him. His descendants gave permission for the family crest to be used as the basis of the College badge which incorporates their motto Patientia et Fortitudine—Patience and Fortitude and the College similarly adopted this as its motto.
At Oxley, we are committed providing our students with a seamless learning journey, starting with a strong early learning foundation. Pre-K effortlessly prepares children for Kindergarten and Junior School, cultivating a love of learning in a play-based environment. With expert teachers, a PreLit learning program and specialist lessons, we're fostering each child's sense of wonder, curiosity and creativity to ignite a passion for learning.
