Our School
Our History
Kyneton High School is a single-campus, year 7 to 12, co-educational school located 80 kilometres north-west of Melbourne.
Our school was originally established in 1912 as Kyneton High School on a site in Piper Street. In 1928 the school was relocated to the current site and operated in the building which is now primarily devoted to Administration, Wellbeing, Performing Arts, offices and the staffroom.
In 1966 a technical component was added to the school and it became known as Kyneton Technical-High School.
In 1985, a Vertical Unit Structure was introduced in Years 8-10, STC and Group 2 subjects were offered to Year 12 students along with Group 1 subjects and Year 11 courses became semester length.
In 1989 the Junior Complex was opened and in 1991 the second stage of the building program was completed, which included the Boomerang, Textiles, Art and Home Economics buildings.
Year 8 returned to a horizontal structure in 1992, with Years 9 and 10 returning to a partly horizontal structure in 1993.
Learning Communities
Building sound habits for life
Our school is organised into three Learning Communities. These include the Junior (Yrs 7 & 8), Middle (Yrs 9 & 10) and Senior (Yrs 11 & 12) Communities.
Learning Communities enable teachers to work closely with smaller groups of students and give students a strong sense of identity and place within the larger school.
Learning Community Leaders and Year level Leaders may be contacted during school hours on matters relating to your child’s wellbeing and progress.
Our Sub-Schools are also supported by the Year Level Leaders.
House System
Kyneton High School is divided up into four House areas for the purpose of in-school competitions. All students belong to a House and are encouraged to compete in the wide range of activities available. In 2012, we introduced the House Cup to recognise the success of the House that achieves the highest aggregate number of points from the various House competitions.
Congratulations to students who have been appointed as House Captains. House Captains carry a broad range of responsibilities and are responsible for organising participation in House based events and competitions. They are also members of the student leadership group.
