Oakhill Basketball continues to grow each year, with the College winning the ISA Championship Shield in 2010 for the third straight year and in 2011 Oakhill was a close second to St Augustine's. Students at Oakhill have the opportunity to play basketball either in the Hills District local competition (usually held on a weekday afternoon/evening) at Hills basketball Stadium or in the Summer ISA competition. Teams in the Hills competition are usually based on friendship groups whilst all ISA teams are graded according to ability.
Oakhill students have been competing in ISA competition for over 10 years and have enjoyed some outstanding results in recent years. In 2004 Oakhill 1sts won the National Title and were crowned the number one schools team in Australia. Interestingly, two members of the 2004 National winning team have furthered their basketball career, Julian Khazzouh is now a prominent member of the revived Sydney Kings, while Andrew (AJ) Ogilvy is currently playing US College Basketball for Vandebilt.
All ISA home games are played on one of three courts at the College. The newly constructed Centenary Sports Centre (opened 2006) has two courts while the court in Benildus Hall has been recently refurbished.
At the end of 2007, 21 students enjoyed a very successful 3 week tour of the United States. This was the first overseas tour since 1997 and was enjoyed by all. In December 2009, 9 students departed for a three week tour of the East Coast of the United States with similar success. This year 20 students will head to the USA once again for a three week tour, this time in Central USA (Indiana and Illinois). These tours are open to all students from yr 8-11 of the current year and are planned every second year. During the years when there is no USA Tour, we send an U16 team down to the National Schools Championships in Division One. In 2010 we went to Bendigo and finished 8th and in 2008 we went to Newcastle and finished 5th.
NPire, the tour company we are running the USA Tours with (headed by Natalie Porter - Australian Opals and current Sydney Flames Captain) will be running various clinics throughout the year for those students interested in developing their skills.
All ISA players are supported by a dynamic committee, comprising of parents, ex students and friends. All parents are encouraged to join the committee, whilst all interested students are encouraged to represent Oakhill, either in the year round local competition or the ISA competition.
