Our vision, mission and values shape every moment at Oakleigh Grammar. Grounded in Orthodox Christianity and Hellenic heritage, we express our character through “A Zest for Life,” inspiring every student to learn with purpose, grow with integrity, and serve with compassion.

Our Values (HARK)

Our four core values, stemming from the Orthodox Christian faith, shape how we learn, lead and live together: 

Humility

We embrace humility, fostering a sense of modesty and open-mindedness in our students and wider community, guiding them to recognise that learning is a journey without end, where every step is an opportunity to grow and gain wisdom.

Aspiration

We ignite the flames of aspiration in our staff and students, setting ambitious goals and equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and determination to achieve them, empowering them to dream big, plan strategically, and work diligently to transform their aspirations into tangible achievements. Ultimately, we aspire for all of our students to have a ‘zest for life’.

Respect

We recognise and appreciate the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, regardless of differences, and we foster an environment of inclusion, consideration, and understanding, to honour both people, and the world we inhabit.

Kindness

We cultivate kindness as a fundamental principle, teaching our students that simple acts of compassion and empathy can create a ripple effect of positivity, transforming the world one heart at a time.

With HARK as our compass, we guide and encourage members of our community to be compassionate, confident, and capable individuals, who embrace the world with open hearts and open minds.
