Join our Private Year Level Facebook Groups

The purpose of these groups is to provide King's parents with a platform to build connections and community with one another. We make every effort to ensure these groups only include current parents; however, they are not closely monitored by King's staff, and we rely on the support of our members to ensure that posts are kind and considerate. These Facebook groups are also not intended to replace Compass as our main source of College information, and we ask that parents regularly check Compass for important news and information. We also have other groups for secondhand uniform sales and extracurricular programs.
If you are new to King's or have yet to join your year-level group, follow the link below to find your group link and send a request to join. You must include your name on our parent database and your child's name and class to help our admin team find your record.

The inaugural Twilight concert this season featured students learning Woodwind, Brass, Strings and Vocals. The performances were delightful, and the audiences were very encouraging. Thank you to the students who plucked up the courage to perform and to our audiences for your generous support.
