Power in Diversity & Equality  

At Ozford, we believe that it is important that we continually exercise and build on these two points to nurture our future leaders.   Diversity is the representation of people of all walks of life in an institution, organisation, or among the broader community. It’s only more recently that, screen media, like television and web casts, […]

What’s the deal with fake news? 

It’s not surprising that the team at Ozford implore everyone to ask themselves where the source of the news and information is coming from.   There’s been a rise in fake news lately thanks to the ease of access to social media portals, deep fake videos, and a world that is becoming ever more divisive.   If […]

Who are you connecting with? 

Ozford uses many methods to connect with people both in Melbourne and abroad. To list only a few examples, we have Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, emails and face to face. It goes without saying that we connect with fellow colleagues and people we already know but, a large part of people we connect with are unknowns […]

Animal Extinction

So, you’re a crocodile, and it’s circa 66 million years BC, you see a bright flash streak across the sky headed for the region now known as Yucatan in Central America, you hear an all-mighty rumble under your spiny feet and look up to see the horizon head toward you at a fantastic speed. You […]

Climate Change

Ozford resides in the temperate city of Melbourne but summertime temperatures can get hot… sometimes in the mid 40 degrees Celsius!   Regardless of what the shock-jocks say, this world is heating up! Sure, the Earth’s temperature over time will ebb and flow due to volcanic activity, solar fluctuations, and variations in the Earth’s tilt and […]

Great communication is an important part of how we ensure that we deliver a high standard of education.  For students, communicating ideas through the written medium for assessments […]

The Supply Chains in Australia

Ozford is located at the heart of the Melbourne’s CBD, and there are many great shopping outlets for us to enjoy but occasionally, you’re presented with this scenario…   So, you’re at the supermarket, you’ve just bought your vegies, you get to aisle 8 and then you see that, ahhh… someone’s taken all the toilet paper… […]

Cycling in Melbourne

Get on your bike!   At Ozford, we believe that riding a bike is a great way to stay fit, save money and to freely explore Melbourne.    According to a study by Scientific American, a human with a bicycle is the most efficient being on the planet. This notion was the inspiration for Steve Jobs to […]

Food for Academic Thought

It’s no surprise that the team at Ozford do not endorse bad dietary habits.   When I say ‘bad’, you probably know what I mean. Junk food, sugary beverages such as Slurpies and energy drinks. Foods that are high in salt and saturated fat content like, ooh, what’s that ubiquitous multinational fast-food store that’s on almost […]

Financial Security

As a result of the turbulent times that we’ve had over these last few years, many of us have been thrust into thinking more about our financial security. At Ozford, we understand that people can experience a certain nervousness about their financial situation, but that’s normal.  The one saving grace for domestic students is that there is Government support and you won’t go […]
