For students in Years 11 and 12, King Island District High School provides senior secondary learning within a unique island setting that strongly connects education with local industry, community and environment. Our senior programs are designed to support students to transition confidently into further education, training or employment, while remaining connected to the opportunities available on King Island.
Senior secondary learning is personalised, practical and future-focused. Programs emphasise academic rigour, skill development and student engagement, with learning pathways tailored to individual goals and strengths. Staff work collaboratively with students to ensure learning is relevant, challenging and supportive, enabling students to take ownership of their learning and future directions.
Students in Years 11 and 12 access a range of learning opportunities including hospitality through the Rock Café program, agricultural studies, outdoor education, visual and performing arts, trades-based learning and online subjects. These programs are closely aligned with employment pathways and workforce needs, building job-ready skills and real-world experience.
The island’s natural environment is an integral part of senior learning, particularly through outdoor education, where students engage in activities such as surfing, kayaking, camping and environmental studies. These experiences support wellbeing, resilience and independence.
Guided by our values of Respect and Working Hard, alongside aspiration, growth and courage, we support senior students to develop confidence, capability and resilience as they prepare for life beyond school.
