Our Vision

To develop in each child their unique qualities, equipping them to enjoy a successful Christ-centred life.

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop and strengthen students’ academic skills, social abilities, spiritual awareness and personal character in a nurturing and inspiring Christian environment.

Junior School

In our Junior School, experienced, caring and committed teachers work to help each child reach their full potential.
For the little ones starting school, we ensure a smooth transition from Preschool to “big” school through our wonderful “Buddy” system. Our Year 6 students develop mentoring and leadership skills by nurturing trusting relationships with their Kindy “buddies”.
Our Year 5 intake and programme prepares the upper Junior School students for Senior School.

Senior School

In our Senior School we encourage students in and beyond academic pursuits so they mature as well-balanced adults. Our integrated pastoral care programme and personal development seminars equip senior students to graduate from school as competent individuals willing to assume active roles in their local communities and wider society.
This is well summed up by our 2009 Year 12 School Captain, Jonathon Shannon who said, “OFGS has equipped us with a belief in our own self worth, a belief in the worth of others and a belief in Christ. These values are built up through an environment where every student has the opportunity to shine, the opportunity to be generous and the opportunity to love God. For this I am extremely grateful.”

HSC Highlights

In the six years of the HSC our results have continued to improve. 2009’s HSC results placed Oxford Falls Grammar School in the top 100 schools in the state. In fact, we were one of only three schools on the Northern Beaches to rank on the list.
With 50% of our graduates making the merit list (90 or more in a subject) and over 27% of students achieving an ATAR (previously UAI) score of 90 or more, it is of little surprise that the class of 2009 has excelled beyond our expectations.
Other 2009 HSC achievements include:
* Out of 21 subjects, 16 were above the State mean
* 1 student was selected for Art Express exhibition
* 1 student pre-selected for ENCORE performance
* 1 student pre-selected for DesignTECH exhibition

Academic Excellence, Oustanding Opportunities

Students are exposed to our extensive core curriculum in the Key Learning Areas (KLAs). We also offer exciting opportunities in Visual Arts, Dance, Drama, Music, Technology, Sports and Personal Development.
