Oakleigh Grammar accepted for Round Square candidacy

·

At Oakleigh Grammar’s whole school Term 3 commencement assembly, Principal Mark Robertson announced the acceptance of Oakleigh Grammar as a Candidate School for Round Square. 

As an established charitable association spanning the globe, Round Square is comprised of member schools aiming to advance education and inspire in every child the capacity for personal responsibility, self-discovery, achievement and excellence. 

Principal Robertson was informed during the recent school holidays of the news from Round Square Chief Executive Rachael Westgarth, who welcomed Oakleigh Grammar as a Candidate School and spoke of the “global connections and friendships you will make through Round Square Candidacy [supporting Oakleigh Grammar’s] continuing success.”

Built on six IDEALS of learning – Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership and Service – Round Square’s philosophy resonates strongly with Oakleigh Grammar’s school values of Humility, Aspiration, Respect and Kindness. It likewise builds on the School’s ongoing mission to provide education at an international standard and build responsible global citizens. 

Taking place for a period of up to two years, as a Candidate School the staff and students of Oakleigh Grammar will be committed to integrating the Round Square principles into everyday school life, while moving towards an application for Global Membership of Round Square. This will involve developing new school initiatives and actively connecting with other Round Square schools to collaborate.

Oakleigh Grammar has already accepted an invitation to attend the Round Square World Conference, which will be held in Bogota, Colombia in September this year. Principal Mr Mark Robertson will be in attendance, along with another staff member and two lucky students who embody the Round Square principles.

As another addition to Oakleigh Grammar’s fantastic educational program, Round Square will be an excellent addition to the school’s status as a Leader in Me Lighthouse school and International Baccalaureate World School.
