Position Information

Kellyville High School, located on the land of the Dharug People in the Hills Shire of northwestern Sydney, is a coeducational comprehensive school of 872 students including 4% of students requiring English as a Language Dialect (EALD) support, 13 students identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and an Inclusive Education Unit of 42 students. A Middle and Senior School structure supports students and staff in developing a productive and inclusive learning environment. Middle School - Years 7, 8 and 9 - has a focus on wellbeing, literacy, numeracy, school culture, adapting to high school systems and expectations and building partnerships with our local primary schools. Senior school - Years 10,11 and 12 - has a focus on wellbeing, academic rigour, school to work or tertiary studies, citizenship and building partnerships with outside agencies. There are transition points in Years 10, 11 and 12 reflecting the individual goals of students.

The learning and wellbeing of all students is underpinned by a strong, proactive and supportive wellbeing team that ensures all students and staff are valued and cared for and have access to emotional and social support.
