Our Enduring King's Community

To be a King’s student is to be part of something special, during school years and beyond.

We have worked hard to create an enduring network of support for our current students and Old Collegians so that the opportunities the College provides last longer than the time spent on campus. Socially and professionally, the King’s community is a rich resource. It comes in many forms; in groups both formal and informal that help students and ex-students to thrive in all they do.

Parents, students, former students, sponsors, and others are integral to the wider King’s community. Our heritage and tradition consists not simply of old buildings but of the bonds that tie us together throughout many generations. Whilst we celebrate individuality, we know that we move further when we move together.

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari kē he toa takitini.

My success should not be bestowed onto me alone, it was not individual success but the success of a collective.

These are the groups that make up our hapori, our community.

Parents and whānau

Excellence in education begins at home. 

Parents and whānau are crucial to our students’ success. We create opportunities for them to engage with the school, building important relationships and creating an environment where our learners can flourish in and out of  the classroom. This strengthens our community and the special relationships our students will take away from their school years.

There are many ways that parents, caregivers, and family can be involved in school life; one of the most impactful is through the Friends of King’s College Association.

The Foundation

The King’s College Foundation is a hugely important part of our school community. Founded in 1980 to ensure ongoing financial stability and independence of the College, it has evolved over the decades since to become an integral source of funding. 

In later years, the Foundation has been able to focus on initiatives that directly assist and improve the College, as well as provide scholarship opportunities to deserving prospective students. 

The Foundation is led by a Board of Management, comprising both appointed and elected members. Its purposes are set out in a deed which guides the Board’s decision-making process.
