Outstanding Curriculum Kingsgrove High School has been awarded the Director General’s Award for its programs in literacy development. It has also been recognised with a Sydney Regional Award for an acclaimed and innovative course-selection program which tailors course-packages to student interests, needs and abilities. Our other strengths are the Vocational Education and Training packages offered within the school, as well as a continued strong emphasis on curriculum patterns leading to tertiary admission. Cultural Diversity Kingsgrove High is very representative of modern Australian society. Many students and staff have non-English speaking backgrounds. This contributes to the school’s richness and cultural diversity. Teachers of English as a Second Language work with students to assist them to attain proficiency in the use of the English language. Team teaching, as well as special classes are used to enhance language development. International Students The school has an average of 50 International students studying at the school every year. The majority of these are in years 10-12 and most come from China. The remainder are from South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and other Asian countries. One of the school’s strengths is its English as a Second Language support team who assist our international students with expertise. Our International students are very successful at the Higher School Certificate and many go on to study at the University of their choice or to NSW TAFE. Excellent 2008 HSC Results The school offered 33 separate courses in 2008. There were 155 graduating students and 24 students were in the HSC honour roll and 98.85 was the best UAI.   Announcements: Visit Our School Please contact the school to arrange a personal tour of the classrooms and facilities.
