Kingsgrove North High School has also developed links with a number of outside agencies that work closely with our students to provide extra support in many different ways either individually or in groups.
Some of the outside agencies that we work with and compliment the support detailed below include Mission Australia, Links to Learning, Campsie Police Youth Liaison Officers and our friends at the Western Sydney Giants Australian Football League (AFL).
