The school boasts almost 1000 students from early learning up until Year 12, and a few years ago it opened up to the extended community whilst being renamed Oakleigh Grammar. The majority of its students are of Greek background (80%) yet more than 50 ethnic background are represented in the overall student populace. 

The school had organised an extensive welcoming ceremony for the new Archbishop. There were songs and dances performed by students, and afterwards the Archbishop had the opportunity to personally meet some of the students, including the 3 and 4 year old, students of early earning centre.
