Did you know…

That “Killara” is an aboriginal word, meaning “permanent, or "always there".
KHS’s mission statement indicates that “Killara educates for life…”
KHS was established in 1968 and occupied the Koola Avenue site in 1970. "The school acknowledges and celebrates its heritage in public education through its links with the former North Sydney Technical High School from which came KHS’s founding principal, Mr T.E. Hornibrook and the first collection in the Lion Library." [Excerpt from KHS Information Booklet 2003]
The school motto is:

“CONSERVA : PROGREDERE”

[Which is derived from…]

‘Preserve that we may develop

Continue that we may advance

Maintain that we may progress.’
