Oxley College is an independent school for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 located in Burradoo, in the beautiful Southern Highlands. We are a vibrant, respectful, and inclusive community, large enough to provide opportunities for our students to find their place, but small enough so that they are known. We are proud to be co-educational, non-denominational and regional. Oxley is a special community, where our core values of Kindness, Courage and Wisdom are at the centre of all that we do. Our focus is development of character, care for the whole child and importantly enlightened academic rigour. Each student is encouraged to be intellectually curious, to be strong independent thinkers and to take on the challenge of being the best they can be.

At The Scots College we believe that young men discover true wisdom through reverence for God and faith in Jesus Christ. The ultimate aim of our education is to help students acquire a knowledge of the truth – of God, society and the world – so that they are better prepared to serve in their families and the wider world, to the glory of God and for the welfare of others. In seeking to serve God faithfully, the mission of The Scots College aims to help each boy discover his strength, develop his character, and pursue his God given calling in the world.

At Aurora Southern Highlands Steiner School we offer a big-hearted education that nourishes the emerging individuality of each child, based on the indications of Dr Rudolf Steiner. We are part of a global network of over a thousand such schools. An education at Aurora develops the child's capacity for purpose, empathy and resilience. We provide a rich, engaging environment where students learn concepts and skills and actively involve the senses with real life experience and purposeful work. Our approach is based on a deep understanding of the unfolding capacities of the child's physical and spiritual self. Our educational approach and content are aligned with each stage in the student's development. This approach unlocks the innate curiosity and creativity of our students, paving the way for them to develop strong academic and practical skills. The skills our students build through their time at Aurora Steiner stay with them for life, allowing them to contribute as morally responsible global citizens. Our guiding star is that our young people, equipped with this education, can bring forward a social renewal and be ready to meet the future needs of our society and planet.
