The King's School

Congratulations to Maryanne Wick, winner of the 2026 King's School Art Prize

Inspired by a residency in Spain, Maryanne’s work The Museum draws on 3,000-year-old Iberian artefacts, capturing their history and quiet resilience. The piece has now been permanently acquired for the School’s collection.

The Art Prize is made possible through the generosity and dedication of the Prep Fathers Association, who play a key role in bringing the event to life each year. It is a wonderful reflection of what our community can achieve together.

This year’s Exhibition Gala Dinner brought together artists, families, galleries and members of the School leadership, including the Headmaster, Chair of Council and Head of Prep, along with former Heads of Prep. It was a memorable evening celebrating both art and community.

Congratulations to all the boys who were recognised with awards, and thank you to the Fathers Association, contributing artists and galleries, and everyone who made the evening so special.

Excitement is building as preparations continue for the 160th Annual Cadet Corps Regimental Passing Out Parade, with our cadets looking impressive as rehearsal efforts take shape.

This year’s Passing Out Parade will be Friday 26 June and held on the JS White Oval from 10.45am.

We would love to see you there as we celebrate this important occasion together.

Last Friday, students walked the campus with purpose, raising funds to support our four Compassion children while learning more about their lives.



As part of the walk‑a‑thon, students made their way across campus, reflecting at each checkpoint on the experiences of the School’s sponsored children, Juliet, Kairus, Aylith and Ren‑Ren. These moments encouraged a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by these children and their families.

From fundraising through to reflection, every step made a meaningful difference, supporting vital programs that provide education, healthcare, food and clean water to communities in need.

We are incredibly proud of our boys for their compassion, generosity and commitment to helping others.

As the day draws to a close, we want to say thank you. The generosity of our community has been extraordinary and every gift has helped make a lasting impact. With only a few hours remaining, there is still time to make your gift and be part of shaping the future for generations to come.

Over the long weekend, Tayden and Ethan represented the NSW Judo Team at the 2026 National Judo Championships on the Gold Coast, delivering impressive performances on the national stage.

Tayden achieved an exceptional result, securing gold for the third consecutive year, a remarkable accomplishment that reflects his dedication and consistency at an elite level. His recent successes also include a silver medal at the Canberra Open and gold at the Sydney Open, further highlighting a strong year of competition.

Both boys represented The King’s School with focus and determination, demonstrating the commitment and resilience required to compete at the highest level.

Congratulations to Tayden and Ethan on their outstanding achievements.

We invite our King’s community to join us for the 160th Annual Cadet Corps Regimental Passing Out Parade on Friday 26 June.

Held on the JS White Oval from 10.45am, this special event is a chance to come together and celebrate one of the School’s most valued traditions, showcasing leadership, character and service.

It is a proud moment for our Year 12 Cadets and their families, marking the completion of their journey and the passing of leadership to the next generation.

We would love to see you there as we celebrate this important occasion together.

We thank The King’s School community for the outstanding support of the Hoodies for Humanities Clothing Collection.

The generous donations of hoodies, tracksuits, blankets and other winter essentials collected have been received by the School’s longstanding partners, St John’s Anglican Rough Edges and St Vincent de Paul, where they are already making a meaningful impact.

A particular thank you goes to the Year 12 Service Learning Leaders, who contributed their time and effort to sort and pack the donations. Their leadership ensured the initiative was carried out with care and efficiency.

Applications are closing soon for the role of Head of Senior School.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced educational leader to take on a pivotal role, working as part of the Core School Executive to lead with vision, purpose and integrity.

If you’re passionate about shaping a culture of academic excellence, strong character and genuine care, we encourage you to apply.
