8) Commute (train) to Melbourne CBD

Oakleigh South itself does not have a train station; nearest station is Oakleigh (or Huntingdale). Typical train travel from Oakleigh station to Flinders Street is about 20–30 minutes (city‑bound services on the Pakenham/Cranbourne lines). I’m substituting the nearest train station (Oakleigh) because Oakleigh South has no station. citation:Oakleigh Station — Metro Trains citation:Oakleigh South to Flinders St — Rome2rio estimates

If you’d like, I can:

- Pull the ABS “Country of birth of person (BPLP)” table for Oakleigh South and give exact 2021 percentages (I’ll open that single ABS table page).

- Or produce the same eight‑point briefing for another nearby primary school next in your queue. Which do you prefer?
