School Catchment Area and Student Selection
As a New South Wales public high school, KCAHS has to accept all students living in its catchment area. The catchment covers locations in Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby councils, including Dangar Island.
The school also accepts, if there's space, those who "demonstrate outstanding ability and commitment in the creative arts in either dance, music, drama and/or visual arts ", as well as their siblings. Students who apply for enrolment under this criterion are required to provide a portfolio demonstrating this ability.
The school has also begun taking a large number of international and exchange students and is part of the International Students Program of the NSW Department of Education.
