Round Square International Conferences

The International Round Square Conference in Dubai, Beyond the Dunes, was a truly remarkable experience. Set against a stunning, futuristic backdrop, our Year 11 delegation represented Oakleigh Grammar with immense pride and enthusiasm. Congratulations to our outstanding student delegates, who were accompanied by Mr Manoj Patel and our Principal, Mr Mark Robertson. The students recently shared their reflections and a video of their journey during assembly, which can also been viewed below.

We are thrilled to announce the next Round Square International Conference, “Visions for the Future From an Ancient Land,” marking an incredible 60 years of the Round Square movement. This prestigious global event will unite representatives from more than 270 Round Square schools worldwide. The conference offers students an extraordinary opportunity to explore, reflect on, and take action around the Round Square IDEALS -Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership, and Service – through inspiring keynote sessions, collaborative projects, and meaningful cultural experiences.

Expressions of interest have already been shared with our Year 10 students in preparation for their participation as Year 11 delegates in 2026. For further information or any questions, please contact Mrs Rebecca Bettiol.

This is a video Barker College has released that encapsulates the exciting opportunities our students will experience.
