Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope 2021 has been good to you and that you made the gains you were seeking this year.

On a lovely winter's day, it was our privilege and honour to officially open the Otago Community Trust King’s Hockey Turf. It’s a fantastic addition to the sport and recreation of the school, city, and nation.

2020 NZQA Scholarship results were again excellent and we were delighted to receive the news that 17 of our students were collectively awarded 31 Scholarship passes in the NZQA Scholarship Exams that are awarded annually to the top 3% of students nationally.

At the start of 2021 we celebrated the top 2020 NCEA academics after exam results were formally released.
