Our principal and staff

At Kingsgrove North High School, our Principal and dedicated staff lead with purpose, expertise and an unwavering belief in every student’s potential. Guided by a shared commitment to learning, wellbeing and belonging, our team works in partnership to create an environment where high expectations and genuine care go hand in hand. Together, we foster a supportive, inclusive and dynamic school culture that empowers every young person to thrive—academically, socially and personally.

Welcome from our principal

Welcome to Kingsgrove North High School, a diverse, caring and high-performing community where every student is known, valued and challenged to thrive as a confident, creative and compassionate learner.

Our school promotes a dynamic learning and social environment that supports students in becoming curious, resilient and ethical individuals. We set high expectations for learning and character. Through expert teaching, clear goals and purposeful feedback, students stretch their thinking, build independence and take pride in their progress as lifelong learners.

Diversity is our strength. The many languages, cultures and identities within our community enrich daily life and deepen our understanding of one another. We design inclusive learning so every student can participate, contribute and succeed, with access to challenge and support at the point of need.

Our students are creative, socially aware and dedicated to improving their results and themselves. We cater for all students and aim to develop well-rounded citizens who leave secondary school empowered and ready to embrace any challenge they choose to pursue.

Students thrive when wellbeing and learning work together. Our staff create calm, welcoming spaces where young people feel they belong and are ready to learn. We teach positive behaviours, grow strong relationships and encourage persistence, curiosity and courage in the face of challenge.

Learning at Kingsgrove North is future focused and inspiring. A rich curriculum sits alongside opportunities in the arts, sport, STEM, languages, leadership and service. These experiences help students discover passions, deepen strengths and find new possibilities. Student voice is active and visible, with young people leading, collaborating and shaping a vibrant school culture.

We are proud of our dedicated staff and strong partnerships with families. Together, we ensure students feel valued, inspired to learn and equipped to break barriers and reach their full potential. Guided by our core values of being safe, respectful and responsible, we hold high expectations for every learner and work in partnership to realise them.

I invite you to explore how Kingsgrove North High School empowers students to learn, lead and thrive today and into the future.
