School Philosophy
Here at The Kimberley School, we believe it is the right of every student to be able to do their best and nobody has the right to interfere with their learning.

The Student Council created The Kimberley Way which sets out the role that we expect all students to play in creating an atmosphere where everyone can be safe, happy, and successful at the Kimberley School.
