A big shout out to Athena H in Year 8 who was the team captain for the 2025 Edutech competition. She led the First Lego League team to the Australian Final and led the team that won the Robotic Design Award! She also ran into a familiar face! Well done Athena.

Our Year 8 German students recently enjoyed an excursion to Munich Brauhaus in the city, where they practised their German language skills by interacting with the hosts and waiting staff. Students also experienced German culture firsthand while enjoying a traditional Bavarian lunch. A fantastic day of language learning beyond the classroom!

On Sunday 14th June Stage Band 2 performed at the Northern Beaches Instrumental Festival at Harbord Public School. Congratulations to all students on an impressive performance.

Congratulations to Bridget and the NSWCHS team on winning the 2026 NSW All Schools Open (19&U) Girls Netball Tri-Series today against NSWCCC and NSWCIS.

The team showed outstanding determination and resilience, edging ahead in the final quarter of both matches to secure the two wins and the trophy.

A fantastic achievement by all involved and a wonderful result for NSWCHSSA. 🏆👏🏐

On Monday 15th of June, Year 9 watched 'Poetry in Action's 'Words that Changed the World' to complement their study of the 'Constructing a Perspectives 'unit

The performance was entertaining, fast paced and educational, offering an insight into the power of words, and how they can be weaponised to convince an audience.

What begins as a shouting match becomes a masterclass in the power of speech throughout history. Using real speeches and a generous dose of humour, Words That Changed the World unpacks rhetorical techniques including logos, ethos, pathos, claptraps, euphemism, and propaganda.

It was pleasing to see students embrace the magic of live theatre as they're invited to think critically.

Year 12 Geography students recently attended a fieldwork excursion to Long Reef as part of their study of ecosystems and the Great Southern Reef. During the excursion, students collected primary data and investigated the ecological significance of the reef environment, examining factors such as functioning, biodiversity, human impacts and management strategies. The fieldwork provided valuable opportunities for students to apply geographical inquiry skills in a real-world setting while developing a deeper understanding of the Great Southern Reef as one of Australia's most important marine ecosystems. Here are some student snaps from the day.

Well done 7TEC1 who did a fantastic job on their assessment task, producing a healthy burger 🍔🍔 within their lesson. Good job year 7!

What a spectacular day of music! 🎶 On Monday, 1st June, over 200 primary school students joined us at Killara High School for the annual KSP Combined Choir Workshop. Our mass choir spent the day rehearsing "When She Loved Me" and "Do You Want to Build a Snowman", putting on a fabulous performance for a packed audience. A huge thank you to the amazing teachers, conductors, and students who made this day so special. We can’t wait to collaborate again next year!

Week 7 Fun Friday was a huge success! Our prefects brought plenty of smiles with musical chairs, a cake stall, and lots of fun. 🍰🎶
Best of all, all funds raised were donated to Youth Off The Streets. A fantastic effort by our prefects and Mr Kammer—well done everyone! 👏
