A $600,000 (equivalent to $2,377,587 in 2022) building grant was provided by the Commonwealth Schools Commission, and local investment brought the total funding to $1 million.[7][8] The college had an initial enrolment of 24 students, with a goal of enrolling 350 students within a few years of opening.[1][7] The College takes its name from Australian explorer, John Oxley.
