William Clarke College is an Anglican co-educational P-12 school founded in 1988. It is located in Kellyville, in the north-west of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The college takes its name from William Branwhite Clarke, an Anglican clergyman who arrived in Australia during 1839. He was a headmaster of The King's School Parramatta, the first incumbent of the Parish of Castle Hill, but was also a noted and respected geologist. The College was commenced as a 7-12 school, later expanding to K-12, and later P-12, in 2015.

Contents

The founding principal was Philip Bryson, who served until mid-2002. The role was then taken by David Raphael, who served until mid-2016. Dr Scott Marsh, who is the current acting Headmaster, has been appointed to officially take over the role in 2017. Other members of the leadership team include; Janine Stillen (Head of Middle School), Daniel Wong (Head of Middle School), and Fiona Elliot (Acting Head of Junior School). The school is attended by over 1400 students, children from the Hills district and other surrounding suburbs.

Faculties

Middle and Senior School education consists of 13 faculties: Christian Development, Drama, English, History, Languages (French, German, and Japanese), Mathematics, Music, PDHPE, Science, Social Sciences, Technological Applied Studies (TAS), and Visual Arts.

The heads of these faculties are:

The Library is headed by Nicole Yule.

Houses

The Junior School (K-4) comprises four houses: Arnold, Cowper, Leigh, and Young. These are coloured Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow, respectively. Students moving from Junior to Middle school are placed in a house that corresponds with their Junior house. The Middle/Senior School houses are divided into 12 houses, each named after a famous Australian Christian. These are as follows:

Each house as a Head of House, in charge of each house's pastoral care system. The houses are further divided into 'tutor groups' (six per house; three middle, three senior), meaning every student is associated with a member of staff (their tutor) and around 15 other students from their sub-school. These groups meet three times a week, with the full house meeting once a week.
