For nearly a century, Oakhill College has stood as a defining presence in Catholic education in New South Wales. Established in 1936, the Castle Hill school has grown into the largest Catholic school in the state and forms part of the international network of De La Salle schools.
Its growth over 90 years reflects more than rising enrolments. The College’s foundations are anchored in Catholic tradition and the Lasallian ethos, shaping generations of students through a mission centred on faith, service and educational excellence. The guiding ambition is to inspire young people to pursue personal greatness while remaining grounded in values.
Oakhill promotes a holistic model of education that extends beyond academic achievement. Its programs are designed to nurture faith-centred, service-oriented and resilient learners equipped for the demands of a rapidly changing world. Emphasis on 21st-century capabilities — including critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication — underpins classroom practice.
The breadth of opportunity is striking. Students engage in performing arts, debating, agriculture, science, leadership and outdoor education, alongside an extensive sporting and enrichment program. Service initiatives, both local and global, remain central to College life, reinforcing a culture of social responsibility.
Pastoral care structures ensure that students are individually known and supported. Tutor groups in the junior years and House groups in the senior school, guided by dedicated year-level leaders, create a framework focused on wellbeing and belonging.
With consistently strong Higher School Certificate results and modern facilities supporting contemporary learning, Oakhill College continues to balance tradition with innovation — sustaining a legacy that has endured for nine decades.
