On Friday, 30th June, KingsWay is honoured to host Julia Grace. She will be doing a workshop on the morning of our Teacher Only Day in the Senior School Library from 9.00 -10.30. Julia will be speaking about Mental Health issues with a particular focus on how to equip 15-18 year olds as they navigate the final few years of pre-adulthood.

This is a FREE community event, so if this is of interest to you, or if you know of someone who would benefit from hearing her presentation (youth pastor, etc), there is an open invitation to attend.

Please RSVP Ann Bailey at ann.bailey@kingsway.school.nz.
