This Leadership Programme is named after Dr Paul Oestreicher, a famous King’s Old Boy who attended King’s High School from 1939 – 1943.

Throughout the year our students earn points for displaying outstanding leadership qualities in a variety of different contexts. These points are tracked and displayed in the Library Foyer at the end of each term allowing students to see their progress. At the conclusion of the academic year, our young leaders will be awarded a bronze, silver, or gold award depending on their points tally.
