Our principal and staff

Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.

Welcome from our principal

“Welcome to Oxley High School, a truly remarkable community. As you explore our school, I trust you will begin to appreciate the deep care we have for all our learners—both students and adults alike.

At Oxley High School, we cultivate a strong culture of inclusivity, encouraging every learner to experience a genuine sense of belonging. We aim to empower them with the confidence to open their hearts and minds to a multitude of adventurous, positive, and creative opportunities.

When your child becomes a student at Oxley, you too become an integral part of our thriving and dynamic community.

It takes trust and commitment to grant us the privilege of educating your child, and for that, I thank you sincerely. I look forward to the possibility of sharing with you, in person, the vibrancy and vigour of Oxley High School. It would be our pleasure to introduce you to the many wonders of Oxley.”

Simon Bartlett-Taylor, Principal of Oxley High School
