Thank you for visiting our school website.

Oaklands is a community where people grow and develop whilst feeling cared for and valued. Our strength is rooted in the willingness that exists in our community to provide the support for every child to ensure the best opportunity for success. The truth of Jesus Christ compels us to exclaim the gospels in service, actions and words. Over the years students have played an active part in the community raising money for many local, national and international good causes.

Community: No one gets left behind

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds … encouraging one another. ”     

(Hebrews 10: 24 – 25)

Unity: United by The Cross

Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.

(1 Corinthians 12: 12) 

Opportunity: Potential for greatness

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people.”

 (Galatians 6:9 – 10) 

As a Catholic school we recognise the importance of placing Christ at the centre of all that we do. As a result, your child’s journey through Oaklands will be one of an education in faith and spiritual development in accordance with the teachings and tradition of the Catholic Church. Our work at Oaklands is guided by Gospel values. These values are nurtured and integrated into our work. Through our personal relationships the school serves as a witness to the Catholic faith.

We value the opportunity that Oaklands provides for every student to achieve their full potential through high quality education and academic success. We recognise that each student has special and different gifts. At Oaklands, we identify those gifts and find opportunities to develop them in a climate where they can be shared and personal achievement can be maximised; where difference is not just tolerated but celebrated. It is only possible to convey part of the Oaklands experience in this message, so I am happy for you to come and see us at open evenings or by appointment.

You will gain a sense of the Catholic ethos which pervades everything we do.
