ARTSWEEK got off to a creative start at King’s College yesterday with our ‘Make Your Mark’ Virtual Reality experience 🎮🎨

Students and staff stepped inside a digital replica of the Memorial Building, using immersive painting and drawing tools to create their own artwork in a virtual world and quite literally make their mark.

It was a fitting way to begin a week celebrating creativity, expression, and innovation across the College.

If this is anything to go by, we’re excited to see what the rest of ARTSWEEK has in store… 👀

Three days of house pride, teamwork, and spirited competition on the courts at this year’s House Netball competition! 🔥

It was fantastic to see so many of our girls representing their houses with energy and determination, while supporters on the sidelines brought plenty of noise and encouragement. 🙌

Congratulations to Middlemore House on taking out this year’s House Netball title! 🏆

Last Friday, Art and Technology teacher Jo Quon and Alex Xu (Year 13, Peart) represented King’s at the Art Battle Auckland Grand Final at Eden Park, producing impressive original works in just 20 minutes alongside some of New Zealand’s leading artists. 🇳🇿

While they didn’t progress to the final round, being selected to compete at this level is an outstanding achievement in itself — and both represented the College with creativity, courage, and skill. 🎨 🙌

Ka pai tō mahi, Jo and Alex! 👑

What can yesterday teach us about today and tomorrow? 📨
