There is nothing more important than your child’s education – and the future is going to be a very different place.

Here at Kingswood College, we’ve thought long and hard about what a school must do – but more importantly what a school must be – so we can deliver the best possible education for our students – and your children.

To enable them to progress and prosper in this complex and demanding world, we’ve developed a unique, holistic Model for Learning.

The model encourages students to achieve their personal best across their academic, cultural, personal, spiritual and sporting pursuits.

We teach our students strategies that help them build resilience, mindfulness and how to live more purposefully, both within and beyond the school gates.

A tree-based metaphor for growth, our Model for Learning embodies a truly holistic education that nurtures each student’s Mind, Body, Heart and Spirit – allowing their potential to soar.

MIND

BODY

From Day 1, we nurture our students’ minds via a carefully thought-through mix of engaging curricular activities and real-life learning experiences.

Through competitive and participation-oriented programs, our students also develop valuable teamwork, leadership and strategy skills.

In the early years, it begins with fostering their natural curiosity and creativity. By the senior years, it’s evolved into producing young people who are independent and capable learners – armed with a positive, practical ‘can-do’ attitude.

Physical education provides the building blocks for a lifetime of health and other important social and psychological benefits.

We firmly believe that education isn’t just about achieving academic success – although that, of course, is a very important by-product. It’s about helping our students become the very best people they can be, right across the board.

HEART

SPIRIT

Education of the heart is all about contribution, care and compassion – leading to a deeper self-understanding.

Who am I and what is my place in this busy, bustling ever-changing world?

We believe that each student has a unique mix of gifts and talents. By appreciating their individual strengths and passions, we encourage our students to express themselves through a rich diversity of experiences and to use their talents to make a better world.

Education of the spirit tackles the crucial questions about life and its many meanings. Our students are prompted to examine their own value and belief systems and picture themselves in the broader context of the universe.

By helping instil mental and emotional wellbeing, education of the spirit explores the notion of what it means to ‘live a good life’.
