Host families needed for new Year 11 international students

Kilvington is welcoming four new International students who will begin Years 10 and 11 in 2026 and continue through to the completion of their VCE. 

We're seeking caring families who'd be happy to open their homes and provide meals, accommodation and a supportive family environment to each student separately. This is a one to three year remunerated hosting arrangement, and a wonderful opportunity to share culture, build connections and support the students as they settle into life at our school.

If your family is interested in learning more, please contact International Student Coordinator Kirsten Maruff at maruffk@kilvington.vic.edu.au. 

Judy Allen Award 2025

Nominations are now open for the Judy Allen Award. This prestigious award honours a member of our community who has made an outstanding contribution to the School over a period of five years or more.

Named after the inspirational Judy Allen (née Southouse, Class of 1974), who is a former Kilvington student, dedicated parent, staff member, Board member and Life Governor, this award celebrates service and the spirit of community. 

If you know of someone worthy, please complete the 2025 Judy Allen Nomination Form. Nominations close on Friday 24 October. The winner will be announced at Celebration Night.
