Congratulations to Sarah McSwiney, alumna and former Chair of the Board
Kilvington alumna and former Chair of the Board, Sarah McSwiney (Class of ’99), has been appointed Head of Engineering at Jetstar - the first woman in Australia to ever hold this role at a major Australian airline at a national level.
From Sarah’s days at Kilvington (Prep to Year 12), to earning a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering with Honours and an MBA, Sarah’s career has truly soared - including two decades at Boeing and leadership across the aviation sector.
A passionate advocate for women in STEM, Sarah continues to inspire future generations through her work with Monash, RMIT and Aviation/Aerospace Australia.
We’re proud to be part of Sarah’s story, and grateful for the way our Kilvonian continues to give back to Kilvington!

SchoolTV - Sibling Relationships
Sibling relationships are often a child's first and longest-lasting social connection. These bonds can offer companionship, support and opportunities to develop important life skills such as empathy, negotiation and conflict resolution.
However, like all close relationships, sibling dynamics can be complex. Differences in temperament, age, needs and parental attention can all contribute to tension or rivalry. It's not uncommon for children to compete for attention, especially during times of change or stress.
As a parent or caregiver, your role in shaping the tone of sibling relationships is vital. Creating a home environment that celebrates each child's unique strengths and avoids direct comparisons helps reduce rivalry and fosters mutual respect. By listening without judgement, teaching emotional regulation and supporting each child's individuality, you can create a family culture where siblings feel secure and valued.
This edition of SchoolTV offers insights to support young people in developing positive, lasting sibling bonds that can remain strong well into adulthood.
