About The Kooralbyn International School
The original TKIS opened in 1985 as a secondary boarding school in what is now the school's Lower Campus. The new school opened as a Prep to Year 12 coeducational, day and boarding school in 2004.
The official name of the school is The Kooralbyn International School, but lately it has come to be known locally as just: 'The Kooralbyn School'
TKIS has always been a small school. Being small has its advantages and disadvantages, but throughout its history, TKIS has strived to be a school dedicated to excellence in both academic and sporting pursuits. This can be demonstrated by the amazing number of state and national representatives and successful graduates of the school. Taking 2010 as an example, the school boasted eight secondary school students who represented the state in various sporting endeavours. For a small school this is an amazing result and represents something like 44 times more state representatives than a school its size should statistically be entitled to.
