General Notices
Let’s Get Ready for School 2023
To help you prepare for the 2023 school year, we have compiled a Let's Get Ready for School 2023 Information Booklet. A copy of the booklet, along with Parent Portal access information, was emailed on Wednesday 9 November to all parents who have children studying at Oxley in 2023. A copy is also available below for your convenience.
This booklet will assist you to prepare items prior to the commencement of school and contains information for the first day of school. If you require a printed copy of the booklet, you may collect one from the Administration Office.
As mentioned in the booklet, all document resources and links to suppliers are available in the Parent Portal. However, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Administration Office on 9727 9900.
Lost Property
With several items still in lost property, they will remain on display in the corridor outside Student Reception in the Administration Building until midday Tuesday 13 December. Parents are encouraged to come and check for any lost items. After this time, items will be disposed of.
A reminder, to ensure lost items are returned to your child, please name all pieces of uniform and other personal items.
Administration Office Closure Dates
The Administration Office will be closed for the Christmas holiday period, from close of business on Friday 23 December 2022, reopening on Monday 9 January 2023.
On behalf of the Admin Office Team, we pray joy, peace and safety be yours throughout this blessed season.

Enrolments
2024
We have limited vacancies for next year and would encourage you to submit your Enrolment Application Form as soon as possible if you wish your child to be considered for a place.
2025
We are now accepting enrolments for 2025 and beyond (particularly Prep and Year 7) and look forward to hearing from you if you wish to enrol your child(ren).
Notice to Withdraw
Parents are reminded of their obligation to give the College one full term’s notice, in writing to the Principal, if their children are not continuing at Oxley Christian College. The lack of one term’s notice will result in the payment of one term’s Tuition Fees.
It is also a legal requirement for you to inform us of the school to which your child’s enrolment is transferring.
Non Resident Visa Holders and New Australian Citizens
For school reporting requirements, please inform the Registrar (clewis@oxley.vic.edu.au) if there have been any changes to you or your child’s residency Visa for Australia. For example:
1. you or your child have recently become Australian Citizens;
2. you or your child have been granted a new Visa; or
3. your current Visas have expired and you are now on Bridging Visas.
The College will require evidence of the change in Visa status for the student and at least one parent, e.g. Australian Citizenship Certificate, Australian Passport, or a copy of your new Visa(s).
Please contact our Registrar if you have any questions.

First Aid Office
Medication
If your child has had medication stored in the First Aid Office, we would ask that this be collected before Wednesday 14 December. If this medication is not collected and will be out of date before Term 1 next year it will be disposed of through the local chemist. If you wish to continue to have medication held in the First Aid Office for future use, we will require a new Administration of Medication form for the 2023 year which can be downloaded through the parent portal and returned to the College.
The First Aid Office will be open from 8.15am to 4.15pm Monday to Friday until Wednesday 14 December.
Medical Care Plans
All students returning to the College in 2023 will be required to submit a new medical care plan for conditions such as, but not limited to, Asthma, Anaphylaxis, Diabetes or Epilepsy. All plans must include a current colour photo, clear instructions from the treating doctor and the Doctor’s signature. All plans must be current – i.e. less than twelve months old. Most of these plans can be downloaded from the Parent Portal or they can be obtained from the First Aid Office.
Thank you.
I would also like to take this opportunity to wish all our Oxley families a very happy and safe Christmas. It has, again, been my pleasure to assist you during the year, and I look forward to seeing many of you again next year. To those who are leaving, I would like to wish you every success and happiness, and may God bless you.
