Killarney Heights High School is a coeducational, comprehensive high school located on Starkey Street in Killarney Heights, a northern suburb of Sydney, in the Northern Beaches, Australia.
Academically, Killarney Heights High School has performed better in 2018 and 2019 than previously, ranking in the top 100 schools both years, for the first time. However, due to rising issues after COVID, the school (along with most other schools in NSW) took a massive hit to results and student enrolment.
The school pushes a heavy focus on teacher-parent communication, inclusivity, diversity, and student/teacher wellbeing.
The school has a large Band Program, which features over 8 ensembles, ranging from Jazz, to Symphonic, to Strings. The band program makes tri-yearly trips overseas on an international tour. In 2023, this was to Tasmania.
The school also has a high level of sporting capability, with their sports teams coming first in multiple competitions.
