Killara High School is a tight knit community where over 1800 students and a talented team of over 130 staff come together each day not just to learn, but to grow as individuals. We value integrity, teamwork and empathy, with a highly integrated wellbeing team of year advisors, counsellors, school officers, careers advisors, and of course our favourite support dogs, Ava and Max, ensuring every member of the community thrives.
We have been fortunate enough to be given opportunities in a range of extracurriculars and initiatives on our journey at Killara, from performing arts ensembles to sporting teams to our vibrant leadership body, which we are proud to say is an enormous 125 students strong. It has been a great pleasure to be able to go to a school where such a diverse school environment is encouraged. Killara High School also offers an exclusive programme in our new Killara Academy, which pushes our junior students to perceive a world much bigger than our own and gain exclusive access to leading experts in their fields. Explicit teaching has enabled us to learn with a clearer objective than ever before, allowing us to, as per our school motto Unleash Potential, Change the World.
As we welcome in our new 2025 cohort, our largest yet, we are so excited to yet again expand our student voice, and meet the new members of our Killara family. Having been incredibly grateful for the many enriching experiences of our school years, we only hope we can share the essence of Killara High School, and watch our fellow students shine.
