The senior years mark the transition from teenager to young adult. During these formative years, our students learn about themselves and their place in the world around them.
Senior School students can choose from over 40 subjects along with options in the area of vocational education and headstart programs at university. A growth mindset instils habits of excellence in our students as they strive to be the best version of themselves in all aspects of their lives. A King’s graduate is ready to have an impact upon their local, national and global communities.
We encourage our Senior School students to create a worldview that is grounded in faith, encapsulating a heart of service and a passion for excellence in whatever they undertake. Students are supported in an environment
where they can flourish and develop fully into the person that God has made them to be.
In every student we strive to instil a readiness for life beyond the classroom, through a breadth of opportunities and experiences they will draw on for the rest of their lives:
In Themselves: Students who know who they are. Goal-oriented, self-motivated and confident in their own ability to succeed, whatever their path.
With Others: Loving, empathetic, responsible leaders who are known, loved and seen within the King’s Community. Students who know we are better, together as a community because of their own contribution.
The main entry point for our Senior School is Year 10. Enrolment at King’s commences at the beginning of each school year, unless if transferring from another school in the event that a vacancy is available.

Performances are held during lunchtime, with enthusiastic support from peers and a panel of judges.
