Oxford Town Hall, a beautiful Grade II listed building in the heart of Oxford City Centre, was the perfect setting to welcome new and returning OIC AS and A2 students to our College Induction
Greeted on arrival with an extra special swag bag, students were welcomed to the new academic year by an introduction from the Principal, Andrew Gillespie.
Sharing the incredible outcomes of our outgoing OIC graduates and celebrating their success of securing places on competitive courses at some of the top university destinations around the globe, Mr Gillespie addressed students, challenging them to go above and beyond. With our unique 3 pillared approach to education, students at OIC are guided and supported by a wealth of expertise from dedicated Academic Strategy Tutors to Boarding Mentors and are encouraged to work together to aspire to do things they thought they could not do.
The OIC Student Induction covers 3 full days of activities with updates and workshops from departments including Safeguarding, Student Services, IT and Medical Talks plus a superb Supercurricular Day at Keble College with introductions to the Supercurricular team, Programmes, Competitions, Clubs and Societies Fair ending in a fantastic educational visit to the Oxford's Pitt River's Museum.
