There is something incredibly special about gathering as a school community.
Our Year 1–3 Assembly was a wonderful time of worship, celebrating all that our students have been learning, and recognising those who received Principal’s Awards alongside their teachers, families, and friends.
What an absolute privilege it is to openly worship God together in a school environment and to celebrate the unique gifts, growth, and achievements of every child.
Yesterday we were honoured to host Head Prefects from Elim Christian College and Hamilton Christian School for a special day of connection, collaboration, and leadership.
Conceived and led by our KingsWay Head and Deputy Head students, the day included discussions on what it means to be servant leaders in our respective school communities, presentations at a Senior School Assembly, a visit to our Primary School, a networking lunch with fellow student leaders, a prayer walk around the campus, and a leadership workshop facilitated by Mr Budler.
It was a fantastic opportunity to learn from one another, strengthen relationships across Christian schools, and be encouraged to lead with purpose and a heart to serve others.
Thank you to all the parents and caregivers who came along to our Options Evening and supported your young people in making thoughtful subject choices aligned with their interests and future goals!
Got questions about a particular pathway, or which subjects best support where your student wants to head? Feel free to email karen.vanwyk@kingsway.school.nz in our Pathways department — we are here to help.

🌏Extending Hope Through Technology KingsWay Students Making a Difference, One Laptop at a Time💻
At KingsWay, our students are learning valuable technology skills while making a real difference in the lives of others. Through our laptop refurbishment programme, donated devices are professionally data-wiped before being refurbished by students and gifted to people who need them most.
This year, during our winter missions trip to the Philippines, our students were able to bless pastors and missionaries with refurbished laptops, helping support their ministry and community work.
Do you have a laptop at home that is less than 10 years old and still has its charger? We'd love to give it a second life! Donations can be dropped off at the Senior School Reception. Every device received has the potential to become a valuable resource for a student, family, or community member who otherwise may not be able to afford one.
Thank you for helping us turn technology into opportunity and hope. ❤️

Taking Off: Our Gateway Students Chasing Careers in Aviation
Some of our Gateway students have been putting in the work to explore their passion for aviation — and the experiences they've had have only strengthened their resolve to fly.
Tho of the students recently visited the Air New Zealand Flight Simulation Centre through Gateway and the Wings Mentoring Programme, spending two days experiencing what it's like to fly both the 787-9 and ATR600 simulators. Beyond the thrill of flying the aircraft, the placement gave real insight into life as an Air NZ pilot — cementing their certainty that aviation is the career path for them.
Another student spent time at RNZAF Base Ohakea, attending the ATC Air Immersion Course through the NZCF alongside only 17 students selected across the country. Over the week, they explored different trades across the base, learning what everyday life looks like in each role — invaluable insight into a possible future with the RNZAF. Combined with an aviation course through Gateway, it's become a very real and exciting option for their future.
Huge congratulations to these students for seeking out these incredible opportunities — proof of what's possible when you chase a passion. We can't wait to see where your journeys in aviation take you!

Some selected Gateway students recently had an incredible opportunity to visit the Auckland District Court, where they gained a unique behind-the-scenes look into the world of law and our justice system.
During their visit, students were able to sit in on real-life court hearings, observe how the court system operates, and see firsthand the important roles that judges, lawyers, and court staff play in the legal process.
One of the highlights of the day was the opportunity to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions, helping students better understand the court process and what a career in law might involve.
These experiences are invaluable in helping young people explore potential career pathways and make informed decisions about their futures.
We are so fortunate that our Gateway Programme can provide students with real-world experiences like this, giving them the chance to step beyond the classroom, connect with industry professionals, and gain firsthand insight into careers they may one day pursue.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this inspiring opportunity possible!

Recently, some of our Gateway students with an interest in teaching had the fantastic opportunity to visit Ngā Iwi School in Māngere as part of their work experience placement.
During their visit, students gained firsthand insight into the daily life of a teacher, observing classroom learning, supporting students, and seeing what it takes to create an engaging and positive learning environment. They also had the chance to interact with a community different from what they may be used to, helping them broaden their perspectives and develop a deeper understanding of the diverse communities that make up Aotearoa.
This experience gave our students valuable exposure to how a school operates behind the scenes and provided a realistic look at the rewards and challenges of a career in education.
We are incredibly grateful to Ngā Iwi School for welcoming our students and sharing their knowledge, expertise and their hearts with us. Through our Gateway Programme, we are privileged to offer students these amazing real-world learning opportunities, helping them explore their future career pathways while building confidence, skills, and experience.

Our Philippines Missions Team is having such a blessed time! ❤️
From visiting schools, church communities, local families and even meeting with the mayor, God is opening doors in incredible ways. As we serve, we’re also growing—learning what it truly means to live missionally and lead with servant hearts.
We’ve loved the dancing, singing, sports, local crafts, and experiencing a beautiful culture so different from our own. But more than anything, we’re grateful for the opportunity to be God’s hands and feet, sharing His love wherever we go.
Thank you for praying with us. We have so much to be grateful for, and we can’t wait to share all the stories of what God is doing! 🇵🇭

*A Day in the Life of a Judge and Lawyer*
Some selected Gateway students recently had an incredible opportunity to visit the Auckland District Court, where they gained a unique behind-the-scenes look into the world of law and our justice system.
During their visit, students were able to sit in on real-life court hearings, observe how the court system operates, and see firsthand the important roles that judges, lawyers, and court staff play in the legal process.
One of the highlights of the day was the opportunity to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions, helping students better understand the court process and what a career in law might involve.
These experiences are invaluable in helping young people explore potential career pathways and make informed decisions about their futures.
We are so fortunate that our Gateway Programme can provide students with real-world experiences like this, giving them the chance to step beyond the classroom, connect with industry professionals, and gain firsthand insight into careers they may one day pursue.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this inspiring opportunity possible!

A Day in the Life of a Teacher!
Recently, some of our Gateway students with an interest in teaching had the fantastic opportunity to visit Ngā Iwi School in Māngere as part of their work experience placement.
During their visit, students gained firsthand insight into the daily life of a teacher, observing classroom learning, supporting students, and seeing what it takes to create an engaging and positive learning environment. They also had the chance to interact with a community different from what they may be used to, helping them broaden their perspectives and develop a deeper understanding of the diverse communities that make up Aotearoa.
This experience gave our students valuable exposure to how a school operates behind the scenes and provided a realistic look at the rewards and challenges of a career in education.
We are incredibly grateful to Ngā Iwi School for welcoming our students and sharing their knowledge, expertise and their hearts with us. Through our Gateway Programme, we are privileged to offer students these amazing real-world learning opportunities, helping them explore their future career pathways while building confidence, skills, and experience.
Thank you to Nga Iwi School for making this meaningful experience possible!
