“Our child has grown so much at Oxley. The balance between academics, sport and the arts has given them confidence and opportunities we never expected in a regional school.” — Parent of Year 10 student
"We’ve had family who have both worked at and attended Oxley High, and we felt it would give our kids the chance to connect with a wide range of cultures and be actively involved in the broader Tamworth community. In their senior years, the school offered the subjects and support they needed to pursue their future careers. The large number of students also means there’s a huge variety of sporting opportunities, giving everyone the chance to find something they enjoy." - Damian Woods, Parent of current and previous students.
