Oaklands is a small, rural township located in the Riverina area of New South Wales. Oaklands Central School is a K to12 school and draws students from the township and farms within approximately a twenty kilometre radius of the town. Luceat Lux Vestra (Let your light shine) is the school motto and reflects one of the school's core beliefs that every student has a strength. It is the school's challenge to discover and build upon the strength of each individual student in a positive, supportive climate that encourages and recognises effort and achievement. We encourage students to take on challenges and new experiences and to be proud of their achievements. Oaklands Central School is a Country Area Program (CAP) funded school that strives to provide equity of access to educational opportunities across the Kindergarten to Year 12 curriculum. The school's mission is 'To produce self-motivated, life-long learners who can work independently and cooperatively, and take their place in the world with confidence, compassion and enthusiasm'.
