National Young Leaders Day
Last Thursday all the Councillors and House Captains travelled to the Vodafone Events Centre to experience National Young Leaders Day 2016. Wow, what a day! Famous leaders from around New Zealand presented at NYLD and gave powerful, inspirational and exciting speeches. We heard all about their experience of leadership and the hurdles they have overcome. They gave us important tips for our future lives.
One of the main points was, you don’t need a badge to be a leader, anyone can be a leader. It’s all about your character and having the right attitude. Another main point was that you need to be a leader all of the time, not just when someone is watching!
It was an amazing once in a lifetime experience, one that the leaders of 2016 are not going to forget in a hurry.

Grandparents’ Day – a couple of things to think about for the day:
• There is NO parking in the school grounds. However if you have a grandparent who needs to be dropped closer to the hall the gate will be open at 250 Victoria Ave for quick drop offs.
• Please be aware there will be high numbers of grandparents attending the concert. Unfortunately there will be NO opportunity for parents to attend this concert. We hope to have a video of the concert available online soon after the event.
Don’t miss the biggest night on the VAS Social Calendar!

A Chance to Change a Boy’s Life
Endeavour Scholarship for Year 7, 2017
Buchanan Charitable Foundation Scholarship for Year 5, 2017
We are now seeking applications for 2017 for four places for the Endeavour Scholarship and one place for the Buchanan Charitable Foundation Scholarship.
The Endeavour Scholarship was launched by the Governor-General of New Zealand in October 2001 which is now in its 15th year and the Buchanan Charitable Foundation Scholarship which is now in its fourth year.
The Endeavour Scholarship is open to Maori and Pasifika boys who are currently in Year 6 at their present schools, for Year 7, 2017.
The Endeavour Scholarship provides opportunities for four boys each year to receive an education at King’s School for their Year 7 and Year 8 years. The boys spend their intermediate years at King’s School and are then re-assessed to see whether they qualify to move on to King’s College for their secondary education. Their education at King’s College is also paid by this scholarship should they be successful.
This scholarship is a financial scholarship which includes tuition fees, uniform allowance and other costs. The level of parental contribution is independently assessed and based on the current financial position of the parents.
The Buchanan Charitable Foundation Scholarship is for one boy of any ethnic descent but who could not normally afford an independent school education. This scholarship is for a boy currently in Year 4 and pays the fees for his Year 5 – 8 years at King’s School and then onto King’s College. This scholarship is conservatively valued at $180,000.
Further details and application forms for both scholarships can be found on our website (www.kings.school.nz). Alternatively please call Kirsty Higgs on Phone: 520-7774.
The following are the details with respect to the Endeavour Scholarship application process this year.
- Application papers are currently available for downloading from our school website
- Applications close 9th August 2016;
- Examinations will take place on Tuesday, 16th August 2016 at King’s School;
- Assessments and interviews for short-listed boys will take place end of August.
We certainly hope you will be able to identify students that you can recommend for these programmes.
