Year 7, 2026

Transitioning to high school marks a significant step in your young person's educational journey. Our school, compared to primary school, may seem larger at first, and it's natural for them to feel a bit uncertain. However, this transition also brings forth exciting opportunities and a wider range of learning to explore.

At Ku-ring-gai High School, we pride ourselves on fostering a sense of community where each student's individuality and contributions are valued.  We are dedicated to providing an exceptional, student-centred education with a strong emphasis on preparing students for the future.

Ku-ring-gai High School places a strong emphasis on the wellbeing of both students and staff. We've implemented highly effective programs to support our students in their development. Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to fostering an environment where all our students can connect, succeed, and thrive.
