Principal's message

I would like to welcome you to Kingswood High School. Our students have an impressive record of academic, cultural and sporting achievements, which reflects their wide range of talents, interests and abilities.

Our school has an excellent mix of highly experienced and effective staff who will provide your child with the resources and expertise to assist them to reach their potential.

As a school we endeavour to improve student learning through setting high expectations in every classroom, every lesson. Building the capacity of teachers to continuously hone their skills in developing and designing innovative future focused learning experiences for students will enable them to be well prepared for life after school.

We have a strong welfare system with a comprehensive merit scheme that recognises student achievement and effort, and a code of conduct that provides clear and consistent expectations on student behaviour. We promote a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect so that students feel connected to our safe and happy school.

Our school motto 'Creating opportunities for success' reminds us that we have a communal responsibility to ensure that students and staff have diverse opportunities to grow and develop into active learners and good citizens.

To be successful at Kingswood High School all students are expected to try their best and be respectful. I require them to demonstrate cooperation, consideration and respect to their peers and my staff to enable a strong differentiated learning environment where all students can achieve their personal best.

The Student Handbook sets out our code of conduct, uniform requirements, school policies and rules. I expect all students to follow our expectations and ask parents to support the school by reinforcing them at home.

I would encourage parents to remain active and involved in their child’s education. This can be in a range of ways such as becoming a parent tutor, attending the parents and citizens' association (P&C) meetings, joining us at parent-teacher nights or requesting, through their year adviser, comments on student participation and progress.

We trust that your association with Kingswood High School, as a student or parent will be a long and happy one.

Mr Adam Forbes
Principal
