At Kingsley PS, we believe in nurturing the development of the whole child. Our moral purpose is to provide an education that goes beyond academics, focussing on the holistic development of each and every student in our care. We are driven by our high-expectations culture and explicitly teach The Kingsley Way - encouraging Respect, Responsibility, Resilience and a drive to achieve Excellence in all that we do!
