King's won the annual Prefects Netball Match against OGHS by a narrow margin despite a less than effective defensive effort, according to Head Boy Chanse Peita.

Riley Smith (Year 13) was appointed Chairperson of the Otago Section of the New Zealand Alpine Club last term – the youngest ever appointment to this position.

James Schollum (Year 9) competed in the South Island Orienteering Champs during the holidays and placed 3rd in the M14 A grade for the Middle Distance Event on Signal Hill. He also competed in the South Island School Champs held at Mt Iron, Wanaka (Long Distance) and Deer Park Heights (Sprint Distance) with very commendable results.

Year 13 classes will not run at King’s this Monday. Everyone will be exploring the tertiary options in Dunedin – it is your day to find ideas for next year and beyond. The University, Otago Polytechnic and the Dunedin College of Tourism will run information sessions for you.

Work Day is a great opportunity for students to not only gain some work experience but also to make a contact in the workforce. Further to this, it is an opportunity to give back to the school community.
