From the Principal

On behalf of the staff, parents ​and children of Kaniva College, I welcome you and extend a sincere invitation for you to be an active participant in our community. We are committed to fostering a strong partnership with parents, guardians, and the wider community. We believe that education is a shared responsibility, and we encourage parents to be actively involved in their child's education.

The size and structure of our school allows for each child to be treated as a special individual.

Support is given to students to achieve academically, grow socially and emotionally in a happy, secure environment. We believe in nurturing the whole child and encouraging our children to explore their interests and passions and achieving excellence.

Our values of Respect, Resilience, Consideration, Cooperation and Endeavour underpin everything we say and do.

I trust that reading our website will give you an insight into Kaniva College. The school endeavors to address the educational needs of students through meaningful and tangible experiences. In this, students are catered for in a balanced and varied program designed to suit student’s needs and interests.
