The Character Initiative

The Character Initiative is a unique program created by Kilvington Grammar that encompasses a range of activities, tools and opportunities to help all our students become the best versions of themselves.

The Character Initiative focuses on developing key character traits through our curriculum. It integrates character development into regular wellbeing/mentoring sessions and dedicated school days. Led by Kilvington’s passionate Character Development Team and supported by longstanding external partnerships, the initiative ensures that character education is as important as all other aspects of the Kilvington curriculum.

The Impact Program

The Impact Program is a Year 9 holistic and unique program that gives our students the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to help thrive at school and life after Kilvington.

It is built on real-world experiences, developing core competencies, encouraging ‘thinking big’ and creating connections based on respect and trust.

"The Impact Program is about doing school differently. As students transition from being a child to an adolescent, it’s about steeping them in real life experiences and bringing Year 9s out of the formal structure of the classroom."
— Mark Williams, Dean of the Impact Program
