Student opportunities and activities
At Kandos High School, we believe every student deserves opportunities to explore their strengths and interests. As a small school, we know our students well and can offer personalised programs that truly make a difference. Our dedicated teachers often volunteer their own time to run clubs, teams and enrichment activities because they genuinely care about helping students grow. These experiences build confidence, connection and skills that support students both now and in their future pathways.
Bell times
Our school day follows a clear timetable with set times for learning, activities, and breaks. Understanding the bell times helps students make the most of each part of their day and arrive prepared for learning.
Canteen

Parent portal
Kandos High School uses the Sentral Parent Portal to help parents and carers stay connected with their child’s education. Keep up with the latest school news and events, make a payment and learn how to get involved.
Events
School events bring learning to life and are a huge part of what makes Kandos High School such a vibrant, supportive and connected community. They build student confidence, strengthen friendships, showcase talents and give everyone a chance to celebrate achievements, big and small. They also invite families to be part of school life, creating moments our students remember long after the year is over.
Newsletters
We publish three newsletters each term, and they’re always packed with highlights from around the school. Inside, you’ll find updates on what our students and staff have been up to, important achievements, snapshots of learning, and a look at what’s coming up in the school calendar and wider community.
