Welcome to our Website
Kinross College opened in 2002 and prides itself on its strong pastoral care ethos and commitment to our students’ academic, social and emotional needs and outstanding facilities. In 2012, Kinross embarks upon its first year as an Independent Public School which provides us with an expanded suite of flexibilities, authorities and responsibilities that will enable the College to deliver targeted innovation and support to our school community.
Kinross College offers a wide and varied curriculum and an extensive range of exciting extra-curricula activities. Many opportunities exist for our students to broaden their horizons and explore their potential. Students in Years 6 and 7 (the Junior School) are housed in one learning community overseen by a Primary Deputy and classroom teachers. Unlike most primary schools they have full access to specialist teachers and facilities. Students in Years 8 to 10 move between specialist and generalist areas. The curriculum is overseen by Heads of Department. Curriculum delivery is based on the needs of individual students with relationships and academic rigor at the centre. Kinross College students progress to Mindarie Senior College for Years 11 and 12.
The development of a school based academic extension program in Mathematics and Science began with Year 8 students in 2011 and has expanded to Year 9 in 2012. Kinross College has an innovative and extensive iPad program with each Year 10 student eligible for an iPad for school use. Many parents of students in other years have also taken the option to equip their children with iPads to take advantage of the technology support available at Kinross as have our teachers.
