Co-curricular Opportunities at King's

Life at King’s brings a wide range of opportunities: a strong academic grounding, personal development, and participation in the full spectrum of co-curricular activities.

We believe that co-curricular programming is an essential aspect of our aim to provide the best all-round education possible. Sports, music, arts, outdoor education, and other activities promote engagement with the King’s College values and provide an avenue for development of leadership skills and identity. By participating in these programmes, students prepare themselves to succeed in the many and varied roles they will undertake throughout their lives and careers.

Students on stage

The best all-round education includes co-curricular activities for the wide range of benefits they provide.

At King’s, students are encouraged to make the most of the opportunities on offer in the cultural, sporting, and outdoor education spaces. We advise them to choose the activities they will get involved in carefully, so that they don’t end up over committing themselves. 

Academic work is the priority; students need to be organised so that activities have minimal impact on their schoolwork and class schedule. We ask that they try and keep a balanced portfolio of activities, rather than specialising too early—and take the chance to stretch themselves at some stage by trying something they would not normally do.

Co-curricular activities on and off campus open up a whole new world of fun, learning, and growth for all students. 



Performing arts

Our wide and diverse range of performing arts opportunities allows students to express their creativity, build confidence, and learn new things.

Sports

Sport is part of our history and also our future—we have a proud tradition of sporting success and continue to pursue that, while encouraging all students to take part in sports and enjoy the benefits.

Outdoor Education

Camps and other adventure activities provide chances for our students to get out and enjoy the great outdoors, our beautiful whenua—as well as offering self-development in spades.
