This isn't a normal school (or mainstream school), students that attend this are there because they haven't been attending mainstream school. There are different reasons why some kids attend this school, (if I remember right) the main reason for why kids attend this school is because they were being bullied in a mainstream school. If you do get accepted into this school, you'll start out by only attending once a week for an hour and gradually you'll eventually be attending Monday to Friday for 2 hours each day. This school's job is to either get you back into mainstream schools or help you pick the right TAFE course. Even after you leave/graduate, you are more than welcome to return to visit. The staff here actually care about their students, there isn't any form of uniform. There is pizza, fish and chips, McDonald's, milkbar, Cheesecake shop and a restaurant just a short walk away from the school. The 800 bus route stops out the front of McDonald's and in front of Domino's (on the opposite side of the road of domino's), so its an ideal bus route for those attending. You could also get off at Noble Park train station and walk to the school (its about 20 minutes to walk from the train station to the school). I've enjoyed my time here and I do plan to visit when I have the free time. I wish the staff all the best in 2018.

Oakwood has really helped me with my learning! Before attending Oakwood I “went” to a ‘mainstream’ school and I attended maybe a few days each semester, but with Oakwood I actually enjoy going to school and have been much more productive than any other school I’ve gone to. I most definitely recommend going here if you are struggling to keep up with regular school and have been missing attendance. Edit: The P.E classes and P.E teacher are pretty damn good, and fun too!

My son attends this school. Great teachers and staff who work well with kids to keep them engaged and learning at their own pace and level. No stressful exams or tests and class duration is short and flexibility available with study days. Highly recommend parents to look into this school if their teens have disengaged from mainstream school.

So great to finally find somewhere that actually cares and makes a real difference in a families life. Thank you ✨✨✨✨✨
