In 2026 we are excited to be sharing more of our Alumni’s stories and journeys that have shaped them since their time at Oakleigh Grammar.

Alumni Spotlight - Leigh Kelepouris (Class of 2009)

In the second edition of Grammar News, we are excited to feature alumnus Leigh Kelepouris, from the Class of 2009.

After graduating from Oakleigh Grammar, Leigh explored marketing through a short period of study at Monash University and hands on experience in digital and print marketing. Ultimately, he was drawn back to real estate, a career deeply woven into his family heritage and one that felt like a natural calling.

Reflecting on his time at Oakleigh Grammar, one piece of advice that has remained with Leigh to this day is that is doesn’t matter who you are or how well you’ve done, you should always treat people with kindness, respect and transparency in order to go a long way in life!

Leigh's journey from experience in the real estate industry at a young age, then returning to the industry after time spent in marketing, reflects that the journey toward our ambitions and goals is rarely linear. 

This life experience has informed another key message Leigh has for Oakleigh Grammar students: results on their own, such as an ATAR, do not define your future. Rather, hard work, perseverance, and a genuine commitment to treating others with kindness and respect are what allows anyone to reach their aspiration.

Currently, Leigh is using his talents as Managing Director at Ray White Oakleigh and Clayton, and he adapts this same passion as a devotee in the sporting industry.

Leigh’s adaptability, commitment, and work ethic demonstrated throughout his journey are highly commendable, and we are proud to have him as a member of the Oakleigh Grammar alumni.
