History
Kingston High School was opened on Saturday 2 December 1972 by the Minister for Education, Bill Neilson.
The school had an initial enrolment of 168 students, with students coming from the rural townships surrounding Kingston.
In 2000 student numbers peaked at 797 students, with enrolments steadily declining over the next six years. From 2007, numbers have been steadily growing again with the student population expected to continue to increase.
The school relocated from the old Kingston CBD campus to the new Kingston View Drive campus at the beginning of the 2011 school year. The new school campus was opened on 4 November 2011.
Kingston Education Project
Initial construction of the Kingston High School current campus was announced in 2007. The new campus is located in Kingston View Drive, next to the Kingborough Sports Centre in Kingston.[3] Construction on the project commenced in May 2009.[4]
