Community
The best thing about coming to Kilvington for me is feeling part of its supportive and friendly community. Kilvington staff and students make me feel truly cared for and included, and I think that’s one of the most important aspects of school life.

Kilvington is supported by a dedicated and enthusiastic Parents and Friends Association (PFA) that organizes a variety of events throughout the year, including welcome picnics, morning teas, and sausage sizzles, to bring our community together. The PFA's Class Social Representatives (CSRs) also foster connections between year levels, manages the Food Cares program to support families in need, and operates the Secondhand Uniform Shop. Every two years, the PFA plays a key role in organizing our Community Fair, inviting the wider community to enjoy a day of fun activities and school tours.
Kilvington alumni are a valued part of our school community, and we deeply value the strong connections we share with them. We are dedicated to maintaining these relationships through events, updates, and opportunities for alumni to engage and support current students.
Community Service
HOPE | Humans Of Purpose and Empathy
HOPE is a Kilvington program with the aim to educate students about causes, their purpose and importance, how to contribute and participate in meaningful ways, and to fundraise much needed money and goods to such important charities.
Each Senior School year level is associated with a specific cause, with our Junior School participating in a charity event at least once a term.
'Not for our own but others’ good'. Our school motto is the basis of our Community Service program, HOPE. Our program has three main aims, to educate, contribute and donate. Through acts of kindness, one can live their best life and help improve the lives of others.

Our senior students rallied for Kilvington's annual Cut for a Cause, raising thousands of dollars for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, whilst our entire school community donated a massive collection of food.
Our Year 7s regularly participate in Eat Up Australia sandwich making sessions, bringing nutritious food to the one in five school kids experiencing hunger across Australia.
