Oakleigh Grammar proudly hosted its annual Arts and Design Exhibition, Techne 2025, celebrating the creativity, innovation, and talent of students from the Early Learning Centre to Senior School.
The exhibition transformed the School Library into a vibrant gallery, showcasing a diverse range of works including visual art, sculpture, digital design, media projects, and interdisciplinary creations.
Techne 2025 highlighted both technical skill and imaginative flair, reflecting the dedication and growth of Oakleigh Grammar students across all year levels.
Academic Leader of the Arts, Helena Scarlata, commented: “The Techne Art and Design Exhibition was a resounding success, showcasing an impressive breadth of creative, thoughtful, and refined student works that truly celebrated their growth and talent. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from our community reflects the dedication of both students and staff in bringing this inspiring event to life.”
Adding to the immersive experience, Food Science students prepared a selection of canapes served throughout the exhibition, showcasing their culinary creativity. Live performances also enriched the evening: Year 9 student Grace sang while Chloe played guitar, and Year 7 and 8 students performed a piece from A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare. These performances reflected the student-led, collaborative spirit of the School while celebrating the Round Square IDEALS of leadership, creativity, and service.
Techne 2025 also showcased the collective effort of Arts staff, whose guidance and support helped bring the exhibition to life. Their work, alongside that of the students, echoed Oakleigh Grammar’s School Values of humility, aspiration, respect, and kindness, creating an environment where students are encouraged to explore ideas and express themselves confidently. Visitors were inspired by the diversity and quality of work on display, reflecting the growth and talent of students across all year levels.
Techne 2025 reinforced Oakleigh Grammar’s commitment to nurturing creative, confident, and expressive learners. The exhibition offered students the opportunity to explore ideas, refine their skills, and share their artistic, musical, and culinary talents with the wider community.
