Kingsley is a Member Institution of the Sydney College of Divinity
Kingsley College

Kingsley College is set on a three-acre block in the northern Melbourne suburb of Hadfield. Its focal point is the main administration building, a 130 year-old heritage mansion. Housing reception, staff and faculty offices, lecture rooms, and common areas, this building is in constant use in the day-to-day operations.

Originally built as an impressive country estate near Melbourne, Kingsley College now stands in the midst of houses and busy streets in the northern suburb of Hadfield. After being empty for a number of years, "Huntingtower" was purchased by the Wesleyan Methodist Church in 1947. Approximately 15km from Melbourne's city centre, public transport is easily accessible. Close proximity to both commercial and industrial areas affords opportunity for part-time employment if a student so desires. Tullamarine International Airport is also within easy driving time.

Reception

Other buildings on the property include three blocks of flats for student and staff accommodation, a dormitory block, two residences, others offices, a Student Centre and a Library.
