The Kingscliff High School difference
Starting high school with confidence
At Kingscliff High School, every student is supported from day one. Our leaders meet with students before they start and learn about their interests connect them with the right subjects. Students quickly feel at home with dedicated areas for junior years and a focus on belonging and having a voice.
Real pathways, close to home
We help students prepare for their future careers with hands-on courses. Next to TAFE NSW, students can complete job-focused courses while finishing their HSC. We offer programs like STEM, Marine Studies, Creative Arts, and many more. In 2024, 93% of students graduated with a clear plan for university, training, or work.
A home for serious athletes
Sport is a big part of life at Kingscliff High School. We offer six Sports Excellence Programs during school hours, led by expert coaches. Our students often achieve State level selections and strong competition results. With an on-site gym and integrated training, students can balance sport and study easily.
