 Principals Welcome
  


Founded in the midst of conflict in our community, Oakgrove Integrated College cherishes the values of courage, imagination and determination which our founders showed.

We commit ourselves to nurturing those values in all our students and developing their ability to speak the truth with confidence. Founded as a place of learning, we strive to enable all to achieve the highest academic standards whilst fostering courage and willingness to take risks accepting what might not be.

We are ever mindful that our school’s history teaches us to look to the future with hope This is a different school created by people inspired to imagine a better future because difference is seen as strength, not weakness. As an integrated school, we are ever-committed to seeking out and welcoming what is different and recognising the challenge to accept what is new.

We foster world-wide partnerships, encouraging students to discover the joy of integrating which continues beyond the experience of school. Our fundamental aim is to develop self-esteem and from it to grow a sense of commitment to others and to the society in which we live, study and work. Oakgrove is no ordinary college. If you are willing to embark on the exciting challenge of a process of life-long learning, then join us now.
