We celebrate and embrace our diversity with a range of programs and activities aimed at promoting respect for all, while we continue to strive to be a culturally responsive organisation.

Our students are encouraged to embrace opportunities and aspire to excellence. Our students develop skills and abilities that enable them to be responsible, informed, and active citizens who contribute positively to society.

Kiara College is equipped with state‑of‑the‑art facilities in the Performing Arts, Agriculture and ongoing STEM redevelopments where students can capitalise on real‑life and industry‑standard applications of skills in these areas. Catering for Years 7–12, Kiara College offers comprehensive and innovative programmes that support students to achieve their potential. Students can follow an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), General or Vocational Education and Training (VET) pathways, preparing them for university entry, TAFE, or employment. Our partnerships with tertiary institutions such as ECU UniPrep and North Metro TAFE facilitate students’ success beyond school. We offer two Specialist Programs: Agriculture and Basketball.
