Killara High School focuses on quality teaching and the provision of the widest range of opportunities for individual achievement and success in learning. The new school block, and further upgrades, will assist the teachers and staff in continuing to deliver high quality public education.

To cater to the growing needs of the school, and its wider community, this project included the delivery of 22 permanent classrooms (and the removal of 6 demountables onsite), shared learning spaces, plus a replacement sports court. The building comprises of state-of-the-art technology and visual arts facilities, a Mac lab and general learning spaces to support 21st century learning.
