Oakleigh Grammar

Students are encouraged to develop leadership and a sense of service to their community within the School and further afield. Opportunities for extra-curricular activities that challenge previous reliance on the family are provided through camps, excursions, and group projects, requiring commitment and accountability. Our Senior School students are more than just a number. Recognizing the link between positive teacher/student relationships and VCE success, our dedicated staff work to ensure that students are given the individualized learning and pastoral support they require.
Responsibility for one’s behavior and learning become more critical as students consolidate their learning styles and identify their strengths and challenges. As young citizens of a complex and demanding global community, they are encouraged to view problems as growth opportunities. The Careers Department assists students in shaping their final years of secondary study to complement their career ambitions. Senior School students may choose to undertake extension studies, and capable Year 10s can include VCE units in their study programs.
Students are challenged to understand and clarify their individual beliefs and moral code. They develop an understanding of the importance of role modeling to younger students. Leadership within year levels and of the student body is the responsibility of all senior students. Students explore habits of useful and healthy adult life and are encouraged to venture into the world as happy, accomplished, well-adjusted, and contributing citizens. Year 10 is the final year for the International Baccalaureate MYP at Oakleigh Grammar. The MYP Year 10 Curriculum is a balanced, broad offering of year based subjects. Students study the following five MYP subjects in Year 10:
