Oatlands District School is situated in the historic township of Oatlands in the Southern Midlands Municipality. The majority of students travel to and from school daily on one of the seven school buses. Oatlands District School prides itself on its Supportive School Environment, its Care, Welfare and Behaviour Management Policy and its Inclusion Policy. Early learners benefit hugely from the K–4 philosophy, underpinned by a strong focus on developing social skills with their peers as well as a broader emphasis on sustainability within both the school and the wider community. The innovative 5–8 Middle School has long been used as a model of best practice in adolescent education throughout Australia.
