OUR VISION: As a co-educational, multi-denominational Christian school, Oxley will provide Christ-centred education that has its foundations in Biblical truth. It will offer excellent educational opportunities from Pre-School to Year 12 through an academically sound, balanced and stimulating curriculum. The spiritual life of the College will nurture students towards maturity in Christ.”

OXLEY COLLEGE was founded in 1979 with two key objectives: to achieve the highest academic standards and to do so within a non-denominational, distinctively Christian, environment. Still deeply committed to its founding principles, the College today enjoys a reputation as one of Victoria’s leading Christian schools. It is widely recognised both for the excellence of its teaching and for the outstanding academic performance of its Year 12 students, of whom the majority gain entry each year into the university programs of their choice.

At the heart of the Oxley experience are Christian perspectives and values, which underpin all aspects of the College program. Every member of the highly qualified teaching staff is committed to the Christian ethos. Each student is encouraged in the development of a deep and enduring personal faith, accompanied by respect for oneself as a unique creation of God, and by respect and compassion for others.

The College seeks also to identify and nurture the individual student’s talents, which are valued, cherished and encouraged as special, God-given gifts.

Oxley College attracts students from diverse cultures, faiths and backgrounds - including a number of students from overseas. The College community welcomes all students and families who embrace the school’s ethos and objectives.

The College campus is located in the Yarra Valley Shire, in eastern Melbourne. Set on thirty hectares of tranquil, semi-rural landscape at Chirnside Park, 25 km east of Melbourne, the school is readily accessible by public transport.

Surrounding suburbs include: Lilydale, Croydon, Mooroolbark, Healesville, Kilsyth, Mount Evelyn, Montrose, Kilsyth, Bayswater, Ringwood and Wonga Park.
