Oakleigh Grammar students chosen for prestigious academic programs

·

Oakleigh Grammar is proudly celebrating the exceptional achievements of four Year 10 students who have been recognised for their academic excellence and chosen as recipients of the prestigious Monash Scholars and Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars programs for 2025.

Arkie Stathopoulos has been selected for the Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars Program, while Nefeli Papadopoulos, Nathanael Anastasiou and Archna Gupta have each been selected for the Monash Scholars Program.

These renowned programs are designed to support high-achieving students across Year 10 to 12, offering a platform for academic growth, leadership development, and networking opportunities with like-minded peers. Selection in either program reflects not only academic excellence, but also a commitment to leadership, innovation and community. 

Oakleigh Grammar Principal, Mark Robertson, lauded the exceptional dedication showcased by the students, stating, “as a School which is renowned for developing student leadership, we are extremely proud of our students who have been recognised as future leaders by their acceptance into the highly prestigious University of Melbourne Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars Program and the Monash Scholars Program.”

The Monash Scholars Program provides select high achieving students in Years 10, 11 and 12 an opportunity to participate and engage with Monash University prior to initiating their tertiary studies, while the Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars program is a two-year program for Year 10 students in Victoria to expand their academic horizons, as well as a guaranteed place in an undergraduate degree at the University of Melbourne.

Senior School Pastoral Coordinator Manoj Patel also expressed his pride in the scale of the achievement by the four students, noting, “it is a great opportunity for our students to prepare themselves for VCE and be surrounded by like-minded, high achieving students in preparation for their final school years and beyond. For a school of our size, this is a fantastic outcome.”

Oakleigh Grammar takes pride in fostering an environment where students are encouraged to strive for academic and personal growth. This milestone exemplifies the School’s commitment to empowering young minds and nurturing the next generation of leaders, and in particular the value of Aspiration which forms one of the School’s core HARK values.
