King’s College is rooted in Anglican traditions and faith. The beautiful Memorial Chapel is the spiritual centre of the school, where students and the community gather.
Our chaplaincy team, led by our Chaplain, provides a flourishing ministry of support and creates opportunities for students to be involved in worship, pastoral care, class-based learning, and community service. Pastoral care is a key part of our efforts to ensure the wellbeing and safety of every student.
With the Christian tradition as a foundation, our students grow to be well-rounded individuals who explore who they are. Our hope is that they enter adulthood with a strong sense of belonging, meaning, and purpose in life.
Through Religious Education teachings in the classroom, our community service programme, Voyager course and Chapel Choir, and more, the College does much to celebrate its Anglican and Christian ethos.
King’s College is clear that every student should feel safe at our school. The school has made significant strides over recent years to improve the culture and encourage student wellbeing. These efforts continue. We have invested heavily, and continue to do so, in a pastoral care approach that emphasises the importance of student wellbeing and respect for others.
Our Student Guidelines and Discipline Policies make it clear we will not tolerate any breaches of major school rules, including bullying, harassment and gross misbehaviour. These Policies are regularly reviewed and updated every three years. They are published each year in our Student Handbook.
If any student, past or present, wishes to discuss concerns they have about their time at King’s College, we encourage them to contact in strictest confidence our Headmaster, Simon Lamb, at s.lamb@kingscollege.school.nz.
