Our Principal
Chrissy Gamble is a personable and articulate leader with a passion for creating exceptional educational experiences for young people.
I’ve been an independent school educator all my life and have a strong sense of what really matters for young people and their families.
At Kingswood College, we are ambitious about academic outcomes. The great strength of our school is our teachers who make sure that every student is challenged every day.
The benefits that come from being challenged in a learning environment is something that has always interested me. My Master of Education thesis explored the role accelerated learning can play in the progress of gifted and talented students.
Kingswood College is a truly inclusive environment. We understand that achievement looks different for different people. We know our students individually and we are prepared to challenge what needs to be challenged to prepare them for the future.
Award Winning Principal
In 2024, Chrissy was named in The Educator’s 2024 Hot List.
This award recognises influential figures in the Australian K–12 education sector, highlighting their contributions to innovation, strategic initiatives, and student wellbeing.
I am a visible leader. I want young people to know me, to feel at ease and understand I want them to aim high. As Principal, my focus is to provide genuine care, to know each young person and to value our partnership with their family. This relationship is vital for great learning outcomes.
