About the Role
The school is a comprehensive coeducational institution established in 1969 and situated in the Penrith Valley area.
It comprises 1032 students, including 15% from an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background and 29% with a language background other than English.
The school features a Special Education Unit supporting up to 60 students through inclusive teaching and learning activities tailored to individual needs.
The facilities include a state-of-the-art Trade Training Centre, Multipurpose Sports Centre and Auditorium, student-managed cafe, after-school Homework Club, fully equipped gym, international-quality sporting field, Primary Industry Farm and the Kingswood Recording Studio.
The school fosters socially responsible, self-disciplined, motivated, lifelong learners in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment. Fully qualified staff collaborate and share quality teaching practices to continuously develop their curriculum and pedagogical expertise ensuring students exhibit sustained growth in learning outcomes.
A well-rounded, holistic education is provided for all students by nurturing and catering to their academic, social and emotional needs. Strong wellbeing platforms and research-driven innovation underpin whole-school initiatives to support literacy and numeracy progression in partnership with improved engagement, attendance and attainment for our students.
Strong community involvement complements existing partnerships across the Kingswood Learning Community to maximise learning and support successful educational pathways for all. The school enjoys the support of its culturally and linguistically diverse community and continues to foster strong partnerships with universities, cultural institutions, businesses and community groups.
These partnerships enrich the school's ambition and aspirational vision to drive success for all stakeholders.
