A Strong Start to 2026

It has been an incredible start to the year in the Junior School at Oakleigh Grammar. Throughout Term 1, our focus has been on establishing consistent and predictable routines across all year levels. These strong foundations have supported our students to feel confident, settled and ready to learn, setting the tone for a year where we aim to Exceed the Expected in all that we do.

A highlight of the term has been the exciting learning opportunities emerging through our STEAM focus. Our intentional and progressive scope and sequence from Prep to Year 5 ensures that students are meaningfully integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics. Through rich, hands-on experiences, students have been designing, creating and evaluating their work, developing essential skills in critical thinking, collaboration and risk-taking. Along the way, classrooms have been filled with curiosity, creativity and plenty of laughter, as students embrace their STEAM opportunities.

We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm and engagement shown by our students and look forward to sharing more of this learning journey with you. We warmly invite families to join us at our first Term 2 assembly on Friday 24 April, where we will celebrate and showcase some of these wonderful STEAM experiences.
