Template:Infobox Aust school private Oxley College is an independent, co-educational, secondary day school, founded on Christian principles.
The College takes its name from the famous early Australian explorer, John Oxley, and nestles at the foot of a hill named after him. His descendants gave permission for his family crest to be used as the basis of the College badge.
History
The College first opened to students in 1983 with an initial enrolment of twenty-four students. The college's founding Headmaster was Mr. David Wright (an Oxford Rhodes Scholar), followed by Mr Christopher Welsh (1995 - 2007). The College has now reached a total population of around five hundred.
The Head since January 2008 has been Mr Grant Williamson, formerly Deputy Headmaster and Head of Stanmore at Newington College.
Houses
There are currently six houses in Oxley College: Dobell, Durack, Florey, Mawson, Monash, and Oodgeroo. All are named after people who have attained recognition for their achievements. These six houses are put into use at least every day, with Tutor Groups, as well as Inter-House Music Carnivals, Athletic Carnivals and Swimming Carnivals.
Notable alumni
Australian Rugby Union player Al Kanaar attended Oxley College. Melanie Tait, author of The Vegemite Tales and Fat Chance: My Big Fat Gastric Band Adventure, also attended Oxley College.
