"King David’s superpower is its ability to guide and support you to empower yourself. King David shaped me. Helping me realise my own potential and providing me opportunities and help wherever I wanted it, KDS cultivated my self-growth and instilled in us a strong sense of Jewish identity - peoplehood, history, culture, and tradition."
Trixie Bustin-Irwin, Class of 2024
"What I will miss most is the culture of King David. This culture separates us from other schools. A culture that allows me to confidently walk through the hallways with no fear of being judged, instead it embraces friendliness and conversations across all year levels. A culture where you are all truly cared for, where the school is always invested in your best interest.”
Poppy Rauchberger, Class of 2024

The King David School is a forward-thinking school that fosters a love of learning, egalitarianism and a proud connection to Jewish identity.
The King David School acknowledges the Bunurong/Boon Wurrung and the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin nation as Traditional Owners of the land on which we are fortunate to teach and learn. We also acknowledge Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. In the spirit of tikkun olam, we seek to ‘learn and understand’ the history, struggle and culture of our First Nations People. We pay our respects to them and to their Elders past and present.
