Our Community. Our Calling. Our Foundation.

Kingsley College is more than a school; it’s a thriving, Christ-centred community grounded in the Word of God, where education is shaped by purpose, faith, and genuine care. Since 1993, the College has been committed to developing students through a strong biblical foundation, recognising the Lordship of Christ in every aspect of College life.

Located in Rockhampton, Kingsley has experienced consistent growth and now supports more than 200 students across on-campus and distance education. What truly sets the College apart is its close-knit culture, where educators are known, supported, and encouraged to grow not only in their careers but also in their faith.

Our Early Learning Centre, opened in 2022, is a modern, purpose-built environment designed to inspire curiosity, confidence, and connection in children aged 3–4. Through play-based, inquiry-led learning and strong relational practice, we create a space where children—and educators—can truly thrive.
