Fortitudo et Curiositas: courage and curiosity
Marion Bruce House shield
Marion Bruce House was established in 2020, in response to increasing numbers of day girls attending the school. It was named after Mrs Marion Bruce, sister-in-law of the founder of King’s College, Mr Graham Bruce.
Marion was a much loved and accomplished teacher at King’s School before taking up the position of hostess of the school at social occasions and the domestic manager at King’s College, in support of her brother-in-law. She inherited the College upon his death and remained at the College.
We are proud to be named after someone with such close ties to King’s. We aspire to her passion for learning and education. Marion Bruce House members aim to display her characteristics of grace, kindness, and willingness to help others.
With the opening of our new House, our foundation members of Marion House become a special part of King’s College history.
