Our staff

Get to know our school staff. We're all here to help.

Our professional, university-educated teachers encourage students to develop a love of learning and a desire to succeed. They maintain the highest integrity and concern for your child’s wellbeing.

The principal is responsible for the educational leadership and management of our school. If you would like to speak to the principal, please contact us to make an appointment.

Our school administrative staff can answer inquiries or direct you to the appropriate staff member for help.

The Staff of KKHS are warm and welcoming. Our vision is to provide the best educational program to our local students. Staff are all University trained and deliver courses in line with their training. All staff undertake other mandatory training throughout each year. 

If you need to make contact with the school the first place to start is with the Year Advisor or the Head Teacher of the subject where you have an inquiry. The list below will help you with the name of the right person. 

If you are unsure, please call the office and our friendly administration staff will assist in directing the call. We understand that High School can be a very big place with so many faces that this process can be difficult.
