UNITY
As a Catholic school we recognise the importance of placing
Christ at the centre of all that we do. As a result, your child’s
journey through Oaklands will be one of an education in faith
and spiritual development in accordance with the teachings
and tradition of the Catholic Church. Our work at Oaklands
is guided by Gospel values.These values are nurtured and
integrated into our work.Through our personal relationships
the school serves as a witness to the Catholic faith.
OPPORTUNITY
We value the opportunity that Oaklands provides for every
student to achieve their full potential through high quality
education and academic success. We recognise that each
student has special and different gifts. At Oaklands, we identify
those gifts and find opportunities to develop them in a climate
where they can be shared and personal achievement can be
maximised; where difference is not just tolerated but celebrated.
It is only possible to convey part of the Oaklands experience
in this brochure, so I am happy for you to come and see us at
open evenings or by appointment.You will gain a sense of the
Catholic ethos which pervades everything we do.
