We are! You're invited to our 60th Anniversary Fete at Oxley Park Public School!
Oxley Park Public School was opened in 1957 on the then sleepy outskirts of Sydney's western suburbs shrouded by tea tree scrub. Much has changed with the passing of time but not the quality of education and partnership with the local community of Oxley Park.
From humble beginnings where the first canteen was conducted under the shade of a tree, to apron parades at the Easter Parade our school now boasts over 500 students with heritage spanning the globe; more than 40 languages are spoken by our students in the home. Our school motto is as timely today as it was in 1957 - "Learning Together for the Future", as students learn and collaborate with their peers using digital learning technologies.
This Saturday (the 25th of March) our school will be holding a fete to celebrate this milestone. This fete has been organised by our dedicated P&C Association, community members and with support of staff. We wish to thank all of our volunteers and staff who have worked tirelessly to bring our anniversary to fruition.
Please come and join us for a fun-filled day of rides, stalls, food and entertainment and take a walk down memory lane in our school hall where 60 years of Oxley Park Public School memorabilia will be on display sharing our learning journey. All funds raised will support the construction of a new covered over learning area (COLA) in our school grounds.
