History

The school was established in 1959 to relieve overcrowding in existing schools and given the name Kingsgrove North by a Committee of P & C. Stage1 of the building, consisting of blocks "B" & "C" was constructed by Monier Builders Ltd at the cost of £189,153. The Manual Arts block, also included in Stage 1, was not begun until 28 February.[3] The first KNHS Headmaster was E. Johnson and the first school captains were Ron Graham (1960–1963) and Judith Timmins (1960–1961). The school badge is based on suggestions from teachers and students and consists of a "rotary wheel" that represents the wheel of industry and "surrounding stars" to indicate hard work to achieve high goals. The school pledge was composed in 1961 by a school teacher and consists of: The future is a challenge, let us excel our lives with power and purpose, let us excel. The prefect's pledge was introduced in 1962 and says: "I promise at all times and in all places, to maintain the honour of the school; that with sincerity, justice and integrity, I will discharge my duties ; so that in these things I shall excel, for what I am, this school will be." The school received the Director General's Award for Excellence in 2004 and 2005 and a National Award for Quality Schooling in 2007.[4]

Description

The school is situated in Kingsgrove, a suburb of southern Sydney. Its main entrance is located on the southwest corner of the school. The campus is built around a main quadrangle, another cluster of buildings around a smaller quadrangle, with an oval and sporting facilities. The school has three quadrangles - Main Quad, Eastern Quad and the Senior Quad. In 2011, KNHS was one of the seven schools selected to be part of the "Confucius Classrooms" project which aims to promote the learning of Mandarin and to consolidate the multicultural harmony within the school. This involved forming strong bilateral ties with sister schools in China.[5]
