18.01.2022 Today, 13 February 2021 we celebrate the 190th Anniversary of the foundation of The King’s School. This Commemoration Day reminds us of the amazing academic, selfless, athletic and inspirational achievements that our School has celebrated for the better part of two centuries, not to mention the camaraderie that so many Old Boys continue to enjoy. Long may these achievements and celebrations continue as The King’s School steers towards its 200th Anniversary. #fortieretfideliter

17.01.2022 Thank you to all the Old Boys and current King’s students who came out on Sunday to celebrate the annual Old Boys Commemoration Day. It was great to see generations of Kingsmen returning to the Senior School campus to compete in various sports competitions, with the hopes of taking home the Kurrle Cup. Well done to the victorious Old Boys who proved age and experience really does matter.

17.01.2022 The Class of 2025 have settled into their new Senior School boarding houses, leaving behind Gowan Brae and making room for another Year 7 cohort.

13.01.2022 After successfully completing the Enterprise Award, Year 6 were rewarded with a 4-day camp trip to the Colo River. There the boys camped at various locations and participated in outdoor adventure activities including a high ropes course, kayaking, archery, base seven and a trip down to the very muddy wombat hole. It was great to see the boys having such fun while working on their resilience, independence and teamwork!

12.01.2022 King’s athlete, Charlie Jeffreson (Year 10) attended the Sydney Uni Invitational Meet at SOPAC last weekend and caused a major upset. A field stacked with current and former State and National Champions, saw Charlie produce a remarkable win in a blistering 1m 49.81s. His run was officially the fastest ever 800m in the history of The King’s School! According to official IAAF World Athletics standings, this places him 3rd in the world for his age - an amazing achievement! Charlie was part of a team of great athletes from King’s, all performing at State and National levels. Congratulations all!

11.01.2022 Today we live and learn at King’s, as part of our rich and storied history of service, sacrifice and leadership. On Remembrance Day 2020, we remember the 48 King’s boys who served in the Light Horse Regiment, as well as the countless other Kingsmen who have served, with a special tribute to Brian Templer Barton. This KingsCast episode is a story of inspiration for our current and future leaders to live a life of service for the sake of others. #RembranceDay2020 #LestWeForget

10.01.2022 Seen as a highlight of the Prep School experience and a milestone in the PYP Programme, our Year 6 students have been hard at work researching, planning and creating projects for their Enterprise Gold Awards. Held over two days, the boys shared with the School their major works, showcasing their creativity, commitment and ability to work independently. The display featured a vast range of projects including coffee tables, hydroponic and greenhouse gardens, a fitness machine, a handcrafted snowboard, computers and computer tables, dog kennels and much more. Well done boys for this immense achievement, and thank you to our parents and staff for supporting the boys on this journey! #AcademicExcellence #GlobalThoughtLeaders

10.01.2022 Congratulations to the Class of 2020! Through resilience, hard work and dedication our boys were able to achieve one of the most exceptional set of HSC results in King’s history.

Thank you to all the Year 12 boys who came back to King’s today to celebrate their results! #fortiteretfideliter

10.01.2022 This unprecedented year has brought to light the clear role humanity plays on the planet. To further bring awareness to the issues surrounding our environment, King’s and the Student Representative Council are thinking green! Today, students and staff participated in ‘Think Green Day’, where they were encouraged to support a recycling initiative that called for a transition from using disposable to reusable cups. Well done boys! This day will inspire better recycling habits and the elimination of plastic material used at the School - one reusable cup at a time!

An intimate gathering came together to celebrate our colleagues and peers, in which 15 presenters provided a lightning 5-minute talk on their recently published works and discussed their paper’s implications for schools and learning environments. We were left inspired and energised, looking back at our recent accomplishments, despite all of the uncertainty that 2020 has provided.
