At Kingswood College, our vision is to embolden hearts and inspire minds. Respect, kindness, courage, perseverance and excellence distinguish our school culture, where our students are at the heart of everything we do.
We are ambitious about the academic outcomes of our students. This is front and centre. Learning is challenging, and being challenged is an uncomfortable feeling, so we help our students understand and embrace this discomfort. By learning together in a culture of academic rigour, the individual outcomes of every student reflect shared goals, providing the perfect springboard for future success.
We know our students individually. With more than 650 students in our school, we get to know each other well and continue to strengthen those relationships over time.
We understand that each of our students have individual talents that deserve to be nurtured to help them achieve academically and thrive in the world.
Great teachers ignite hearts and minds. The strength of our school is our teachers. They are here because they want to be, and they inspire and challenge our students every day. This means looking carefully at what students know today and what they need to learn next.
Belonging to a caring community gives every student the opportunity to achieve their very best. Knowing they belong, frees students to fully embrace learning and discover how they can contribute to the greater good. Our school is a truly inclusive place where the importance of student wellbeing is deeply understood. Students appreciate that their success as individuals aligns with a sense of being a part of something bigger.
Our smaller classroom size allows teachers to get to know every student, so they feel supported and seen and contributes to a culture of learning that empowers everyone. Our buildings are purpose built to promote the best possible learning environment with spaces dedicated to specific disciplines including our world-class Science Centre.
Our community is enriched by the contribution of teachers, staff, students and their families who bring many different cultural backgrounds and experiences to the school. We cater to diverse academic abilities and approaches to learning and understand that achievement looks different for different people.
