What you should know about Kings School
While the school has been on its present site on the Northern slopes of Remuera since 1896, King’s School itself became an independent preparatory school in 1922, when the King’s College Secondary School moved to its new location in Middlemore. He was the son of Yorkshire parents, who ran a grocery business and owned property on the North Shore. Upon the death of Mr Bruce in 1901, at the age of 38, Mr Major took over, as Headmaster of King’s College, a position he held through to 1925. The first Chairman of the Board of Governors was Professor H S Dettman and the first Headmaster was Mr A Clifton Smith M. , who arrived from The Hutchings School, Hobart.
, took over as Board Chairman and the Rev J G T Castle, M. The Very Reverend A W Averill, Archbishop of New Zealand, dedicated the new Chapel on 29 November, which was officially named The Chapel of the Holy Child. The Rev J M Beaufort, M. Previously there was a King’s School section in the King’s College Magazine. Colonel Charles Major took control of the school pending the arrival of his son in law, Mr John Morris, M. , in 1936. The CT Major Memorial Scholarship was first presented shortly after the death of Charles Major who died in London in November.
The Headmaster took Sabbatical leave and Mr W G Kerry was appointed Acting Headmaster in Mr Morris’s absence. The King’s School Association was formed and was subsequently renamed The Friends of King’s School . This year was another milestone in the history of the school with the resignation of John Morris as Headmaster after 30 years service and the appointment of Mr R J Pengelly, M.

We give students a broad range of choices at school and they are encouraged to have a go. At King's, to complement a solid foundation in the core curriculum of Maths, English and Social Studies, the boys enjoy a very broad range of other subjects including Science, French, Music, ICT, Sport, Outdoor Education, Art, Animation and film, Physical Education, Religious Education, Drama and Dance. Boys are encouraged to think independently and express their individual thoughts. Every boy from Year 2 learns a musical instrument at King's and regularly plays in a band. At King’s School our focus is to recognise every boy as an individual and offer the opportunities to discover and explore his full potential. Headmaster, Tony Sissons is an internationally recognised champion of boys’ education and is passionate about giving every boy that passes through the gates of King’s School the very best start in life. The decision to send your boy to King’s School is a choice, but it is a choice that shapes his future. We encourage the students here at King’s to be self motivated, to strive to do their best in everything they do and to have the confidence to take risks. Our students today are among those who will be thinkers and leaders in the 21st Century. Every boy should have the opportunity to be nurtured to reach his full potential. I believe strongly that the school has a responsibility to care for each individual and to create an environment which acknowledges and celebrates boys’ successes developing a culture where it is great to succeed and where the boys are encouraged to develop strong self esteem
