| BOYS' EDUCATION
The King's School is an acknowledged national and international leader in boys' education. Over many years, King's has researched the teaching techniques which have been shown to be particularly effective in helping boys to learn.
There is clear evidence to suggest that boys often learn differently to girls. This means that boys must often be taught differently to girls.
At King's, we endeavour to apply those teaching techniques which have been shown to keep boys engaged with teaching and in a manner which optimises learning.
The prominence that King's enjoys in the field of boys' education has been advanced for a number of reasons including:
- Publishing the best seller Boy oh Boy, a book on how to raise and educate boys. The book has sold well throughout Australia and overseas. Copies of the book may be obtained from either:
- Entering into research projects with universities on how to educate boys well. For example, the "Report on Best Practice in Boys' Education" written by Dr Peter West, was a joint project of the University of Western Sydney and The King's School.
- Acting as an advisor to the Federal Government on its "Forum on Boys' Education"
- Running several national and international conferences on boys' education
- Running regular workshops and giving frequent public talks on how best to educate boys
- Being a trustee of the International Boys' Schools Coalition
