Welcome to the Oakleigh Technical School Society Web Page
In April 1997 a school re union was held at the engineering halls of Monash University as the original school was demolished in 1993. After that re union was held a society was formed with the purpose of perpetuating the memory of the old school. To date, the society has made a number of achievements some of which are the following: Awarding memorial scholarships to sixth grade students from the feeder schools of the original OTS.

More recently: awards to direct descendents of OTSS members who are completing sixth grade. Installation of a memorial stone on the site where the school once stood. |
