Our school provides quality education that meets the needs and learning styles of boys at every stage of their development from Years 0 – 8. Each student is inspired and encouraged to excel both inside and outside the classroom.

Students enter our gate with talents and it is our responsibility to provide an environment where these can be identified, nurtured, and then extended.

Our boys are expected to perform at the highest level in a progressive, innovative educational setting where competition and physicality are encouraged, excellence is achieved, and success is acknowledged. 

By pushing their personal limits they can achieve at a high level and realise their potential.

True to the Saint Kentigern Trust’s founding values, we provide a caring and supportive environment where boys can explore what it means to be boys. These values guide their everyday lives, developing young men who are respectful, and know who they are, where they come from, and their role in the community. We want our boys, your sons, to become global citizens and future leaders of their communities, fully prepared and confident, with the necessary resilience to meet the challenges they will face in a rapidly changing world. We are fortunate to have a dedicated faculty committed to supporting and encouraging your son to reach his potential in all aspects of his development.

We invite you and your family to visit our excellent facilities and meet our team to explore the difference we can make in your son's educational journey.

Fides Servanda Est.
