Students from a prestigious Sydney all-boys school have sparked outrage after they killed a goanna while on a school camp.

The King's School on Friday confirmed staff reported to police and the Australian Defence Force that senior students killed the reptile while on an annual cadet camp at the end of last term.

"The school does not condone the behaviour, which is inconsistent with the values and expectations of behaviour at King's," a spokesman said in a statement.

NSW Police confirmed they were investigating reports of the alleged goanna death at Singleton in the state's Hunter region on March 29.

King's, Australia's oldest independent school, charges students up to $41,460 for tuition and an additional $32,680 for boarders.

The North Parramatta school's catalogue of esteemed alumni includes former deputy prime minister John Anderson and sitting Bennelong MP Jerome Laxale.

The education department in October launched an investigation into whether the elite Anglican school had misused taxpayer funds after reports it planned to install a plunge pool at the headmaster's residence and sent the school's senior staff to attend a British rowing event.

The Hills Police urged anyone with information to contact them or call Crime Stoppers.
