MARK ROBERTSON

Principal 

As a fruitful year at Oakleigh Grammar draws to a close, and the great season of Christmas approaches, may the peace and joy of Christmas be with you and those you love.

In this final edition of the Grammar News for 2019, I wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge the staff of Oakleigh Grammar, both teaching and non-teaching. I extend my gratitude to them for their commitment, enthusiasm and dedication in ensuring the social, emotional and academic wellbeing of our students during the year. Their work is often unseen but always appreciated. 

I wish to take the opportunity to also congratulate Peter Dickinson, Deputy Principal Operations, on his appointment to the Board of Life Education.

To those students and staff who conclude their involvement at our School this year, I sincerely thank you for the contributions you have made at Oakleigh Grammar. You will always be a part of our history, and have left your footprint here. We wish Maria-Stella Papageorgiou well as she leaves us at the end of the year.
