Welcome to Oxley Sport in 2023

We encourage students to participate in Sport and do what they can, unless totally unable to do any activity. A note of explanation of limitation and the length of time is helpful, as is any physio / doctor report. It is important that students wear their full Sport uniform – polo top, shorts and Oxley socks to Sport unless they have been issued with an EISM uniform. For House Carnivals, students must wear their House shirts. A sun hat and sunscreen are also very important during the summer months. The safety and wellbeing of our students is our highest priority.
Apart from our official sport program, students can also improve their fitness by attending Running Group every Thursday after school. The program is not only about running, but consists of various fitness activities.
We are looking forward to a great year ahead in Oxley Sport.
