Welcome to Killara High School's Archives page!

​We respectfully acknowledge that this school is located on the Country of the Dharug and Guringai peoples, who are the traditional custodians and leaders of this land. 
​
We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of Aboriginal Peoples and their relationship with the land on which we learn and lead.

We acknowledge and respect continuing Aboriginal culture and its contribution to the life of this community and region. 
​

We celebrate the ongoing influence that community can have on the young leaders inducted today.
We would also like to pay respect to our elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal peoples present today.

The school acknowledges and celebrates it's heritage in Public Education through it's links with the former North Sydney Technical High School (and their predecessor schools) from which came Killara High School’s founding Principal, Mr T.E. Hornibrook and the first collection of the Lion Library. 
[Excerpt from Killara High School Information Booklet 2003] 

Our school motto is:    “CONSERVA : PROGREDERE”  which is derived from:
 ‘Preserve that we may develop
Continue that we may advance
Maintain that we may progress.’

Our school badge consists of a castle indicating a ‘storehouse of knowledge’ and the name,
‘Killara’, which means ‘permanent place.’


The Killara High School song:

“In our hearts we’ll always cherish
The school of our young days
Looking proudly o’er the valley
With its slopes of greens and greys
We will ne’er forget our motto
Conserva progredere
Preserve that we may progress
In our work, and hopes and play.
 
Killara! Killara! School we proudly claim,
We will always remember to bring honour to your name.
 
The time will come to leave
The shelter of your walls,
But the lessons you have taught us,
 Will be there what e’er befalls.
So let’s sing about Killara
And days of green and gold,
And friends and joys of school days
In our mem’ries
Ever hold.
 
Killara Killara School we proudly claim,
We will always remember to bring honour to your name.
 
[Music by L.I. Strait; Words by Mrs B. Davy]
