King’s School has a strong and vibrant House system.
 

Each boy is placed into one of the six school Houses, each wearing different House colours at sporting events.
 
The Houses provide for healthy competition within the school. Points are awarded for academic, sporting and cultural successes as well as for service and citizenship. Cups at the end of the year are fiercely contested.

Buddies with the cup
Leadership Opportunities
The Houses also provide leadership opportunities for the senior boys and a mentoring system where juniors are buddied up with an older student and nurtured through their school life.

Each House has teachers allocated as House tutors and likewise offer further pastoral support to the boys.
