A Saint Kentigern education runs deeper than the acquisition of curriculum specific knowledge. Throughout everything they undertake, our students are encouraged to offer support and leadership to their peers and the younger students who follow in their footsteps.
Service takes many forms and does not always have to be about big issues; it can be acts of kindness, consideration and compassion in the classroom, in the playground, on the sports field or at home. These little acts of service encouraged at an early age build a foundation for moral reasoning later in life.
One of the measures of success for all our boys and girls is the extent to which they have made a positive contribution to their school and the wider community.
Values education has long been synonymous with The Saint Kentigern Way, a code of care and respect that all our students and staff are encouraged to adopt in every facet of their daily lives, both during the school day and at home. These core values provide a starting point for our students to explore many other essential values such as compassion, courage, determination, loyalty, justice and tolerance that are discussed and practised during the year.
The long-term strategy for our family of schools ensures that we continue to deliver excellence in education for all our students for current and future generations.
Our goal is for Saint Kentigern to be recognised as one of the great educational communities in the world, and the Building Saint Kentigern strategy sets out a pathway to achieve.
Situated on a beautiful park-like campus, Saint Kentigern College for students in Years 7 – 13 (ages 11 to 18) is an Independent Presbyterian school, offering the very best in private education for girls and boys.
