Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to the official website of Kogarah High School. As Principal, I am honoured to lead a vibrant community where our proudly upheld motto, "Honour Super Omnia" — or Honour Above All Things — guides all that we do.
At Kogarah High School, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where every student is empowered to be respectful, responsible, resilient, and reflective—our core values that shape the character and success of all members of our school community. These values underpin our dedication to holistic education, encouraging academic excellence and positive transitional pathways alongside personal growth.
Our school thrives through a strong partnership between students, parents, and the wider community. We believe that meaningful engagement from prospective and current parents, carers, and community members is essential to our continuous improvement and ongoing success. Together, we create a collaborative environment where students are inspired to achieve their full potential and develop into responsible citizens who carry honour above all things.
I look forward to working with you all as we continue to build a school community distinguished by excellence, integrity, and respect.
Darren Hamilton, Principal of Kogarah High School
