Oakleigh Greek Orthodox College

College Principal's Message


It is with a great sense of pride and honour, as Principal of this wonderful College, that I invite you to become a part of our vibrant school community. At Oakleigh Greek Orthodox College, we have put together a team of academic leaders that will ensure our College offers the following advantages for your child:

  • A curriculum that is designed so that all students are required to do serious intellectual work, with high levels of achievement demanded. Schoolwork will be tied to real world problems and involve the development of intellectual habits and skills such as problem-solving, collaborating, investigating various points of view, seeking connections to other realms of knowledge, and understanding the applications of knowledge acquired.

  • Your child will be known well and understood by caring teachers who will spend extended time with them during the day and over the weeks and years.

  • Your child understands, respects and is proud of their heritage, while also developing effective Greek literacy skills and respecting and appreciating their Greek Orthodox religion.

  • Students will be more outward-looking and participate in local, national and international activities that focus on the needs of others.

  • Your family forms a strong partnership with the College, with effective communication and involvement through a range of College initiatives and activities.

    Strong and visionary leadership with clear direction so that the school is always at the cutting edge of modern educational practice.

    Our College can make a real difference to your child. We promote and live by the family values that are so important to all of us and the lives of our children. As well as providing an excellent education for the children in our care, we work closely with all our families to ensure we also guide our students to become good people who can make a valuable contribution to their community and society in general.

    The future will continue to see great innovations in the education programs we offer our students; staff developing an even greater repertoire of teaching and learning methodology; a truly excited and inspired student body and our parents and school community proud to be associated with this school.

    We are a low-fee Independent School that provides a high quality educational experience for your child, but with some unique elements that you will find hard to match elsewhere.

    If you share our philosophy for what makes a great school, then I encourage you to make arrangements to visit at Oakleigh Greek Orthodox College “Sts. Anargiri” and experience our school community in action.
