Oxley offers greater access to Christ-centred education for families on a limited income through our Means-Tested Scholarship Program. The Program is designed to support families in need and provide students with an education that nurtures faith, character and academic growth. These scholarships are for new students commencing at Oxley in 2026.
To be considered for a Scholarship, students must submit a portfolio. Applicants can submit this portfolio in any format, for example, a written essay, visual diary, or collation of works. The portfolio must respond to the selection criteria below.
NOTE: A modified portfolio is accepted for Prep candidates. This could be arranged by parent or childcare educator.
All work presented must be the student applicant's original work. Students are permitted to refer to their portfolio should they be invited to interview.
Required:
The Means-Tested Scholarship differs from the Academic Scholarship Program, and does not require any additional testing. Eligible families on a limited income are interviewed by our Principal Mr Michael Bond. Selection will be made at the Principal's discretion and will take into account a student's educational history, attendance, portfolio and interview.
Eligibility for the Means-Tested Scholarship is broad and varied, and assessed on a case by case basis. You do not have to meet Victorian CSEF requirements.
