One of the most beautiful things Leah witnessed on her recent missions trip to the Philippines wasn't just one woman's incredible faith—it was a whole community wrapped around her in prayer during her hardest season.
That's the gospel in action. That's what it means to belong to something bigger than ourselves.
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." — 1 Thessalonians 5:11
We're so grateful for Leah's heart and for the lessons she's bringing home. 💙
Our Level 3 Geography class had an incredible day yesterday exploring Rotorua's world-class tourism experiences—putting their external assessment on tourism development into real-world perspective. Today, we're diving deeper with an expert talk from the Rotorua Museum team, followed by some well-deserved fun on the Luge. We've been blessed with stunning weather to make the most of our time in Rotorua!
GRIT Day was a powerful reminder of what students can achieve when they step outside their comfort zones. Through activities including log runs, stretcher carries, blindfolded tent building, and a mud-filled obstacle course, our Year 10s demonstrated resilience, teamwork, and perseverance. We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm and courage they showed throughout the day.
Year 6 Takes "God in the Storm" Beyond the Classroom
Our Year 6 students journeyed from the museum's Natural Disasters Gallery to hands-on volcano experiments, and then climbed Maungawhau/Mt Eden itself. They walked the maunga. They explored the crater. They experienced the awe.
As students stood among these forces of nature, our students asked the big questions: What does it mean to trust? How is God with us in the storms of life? What can we learn from a volcano about faith, resilience, and hope?
Learning science while experiencing creation and growing in our faith.
Chloe’s experience on the KingsWay Philippines Missions Trip was one that changed her perspective in such a beautiful way. ❤️🇵🇭
She went hoping to bless others, but came home feeling like the people there had blessed her far more than she could ever have blessed them.
The trip reminded her to see life differently — to be grateful for what she has, to appreciate the simple things, and most importantly, to find her joy in the Lord. 🙏
Congratulations to Kristin Algie and Joanne Xu, who have both been named finalists in the National Secondary School Art Awards 2026.

Micah reflects back on the Philippines missions trip with KingsWay, and the biggest thing he's carrying home isn't in his suitcase — it's a whole new perspective.
Serving communities who have so little, yet give thanks with so much joy, has a way of reshaping what you think you need. Micah leaves grateful — for the people he met, for the reminder that contentment isn't about how much you have, and for a fresh set of eyes on the everyday blessings that are so easy to overlook.
As we continue to pray for the people of the Philippines, we hold on to this:
"The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." — James 5:16

We were proud to celebrate the official opening of our new Arts Centre on 10 August, a milestone made possible through much prayer, faith, hope, and hard work.
Our prayer is that this space will inspire creativity, nurture gifts and talents, help students flourish, and ultimately bring glory to God through all that takes place within it.

One of the most impactful lessons Brooke took away from our recent Philippines missions trip was learning to be truly present and intentional in everyday interactions and relationships.
As she spent time with the local children, she was deeply moved by their joy. Despite having so little by the world's standards, they were constantly smiling, laughing, and embracing each day with gratitude.
Their lives became a powerful reminder that joy isn't found in what we have, but in who we have. ❤️
We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a permanent full-time Head of Learning Area in our Primary School, based on our Junior Campus (Years 1-6), starting 28 January 2027.
"I thought we were going to the Philippines to serve. Turns out we received a lot more than we gave."
That's how one of our students summed up KingsWay's recent Missions Trip — and honestly, it's the theme we heard again and again from the students who went.
This is Servant Leadership off the page and into real life — not a poster in the hallway, but muddy shoes, sore backs, full hearts, and a group of students who came home changed.
Listen to this beautiful testimony from two of our year 13 students.
Our Year 1 students enjoyed an exciting Little Scientists session!
They explored fun science experiments, from bubbly reactions to amazing eruptions. Their excitement, curiosity, and thoughtful questions made it a memorable learning experience.
As we explored the amazing world God has created, we reflected on Psalm 111:2: "Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them."
We are thankful for opportunities that inspire our students to wonder, discover, and learn.
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!

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.

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!

We are so proud to celebrate former KingsWay student Elri Bosman, who recently represented Team New Zealand at the World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) — often called the "Talent Olympics." Held annually, this year in Las Vegas, WCOPA brings together elite performers from over 70 countries to compete across singing, dancing, acting and variety, with only the top invited talent from each country taking part.
Elri didn't just compete — she dominated, coming home with an incredible haul: - Senior Vocal Rock Division Champion (Ages 16–30+) - 2 Gold Medals — Variety (18–24) and Rock (18–24) - 1 Silver Medal — Original Works - 2 Bronze Medals — Gospel and Open
On top of her medals, Elri was awarded a 4-year scholarship to the New York Film Academy (NYFA), complete with an official NYFA callback, and has since been offered work with three different record labels. We are beyond proud of Elri and everything she's achieved on the world stage.
Her dedication, talent and heart have been incredible to watch — and a huge thank you to everyone in our KingsWay community who supported her along the way. We are proud of you, Elri!
This morning, we welcomed the Education Review Office (ERO) reviewers to our school. As they spend time evaluating our teaching practices, learning programmes, and school systems, we pray that they feel warmly welcomed and experience the caring, Christ-centred culture that makes our school community so special. We are grateful for the opportunity to reflect on our strengths, celebrate our achievements, and continue growing in our commitment to providing the best possible learning environment for our students. ...

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!
**Gateway is a secondary school programme that combines real-world work experience with practical NCEA credits — featuring workplace placements, targeted industry unit standards, and career planning.

Achievement on the World Stage! 🌟👏
Congratulations to Skyler Olivier (Year 9), who recently represented New Zealand at the World Championships of Performing Arts 2026 in Las Vegas.
Competing in the highly competitive Solo Hip Hop Division, Skyler chose to focus on her strength and entered just one category, while many other competitors entered between six and eleven categories. With only one opportunity to make her mark, the pressure and anticipation were immense.
Skyler’s determination and talent paid off as she became the first member of the New Zealand Team to win a Silver Medal at the competition, earning Silver in the Solo Hip Hop Division! 🥈
This is an incredible achievement on the world stage. Congratulations Skyler, we are very proud of you and all that you have accomplished. 🙌

ALUMNI ACHIEVEMENT — Congratulations Elri Bosman!
We are so proud to celebrate former KingsWay student Elri Bosman, who recently represented Team New Zealand at the World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) — often called the "Talent Olympics." Held annually, this year in Las Vegas, WCOPA brings together elite performers from over 70 countries to compete across singing, dancing, acting and variety, with only the top invited talent from each country taking part.
Elri didn't just compete — she dominated, coming home with an incredible haul:
- Senior Vocal Rock Division Champion (Ages 16–30+)
- 2 Gold Medals — Variety (18–24) and Rock (18–24)
- 1 Silver Medal — Original Works
- 2 Bronze Medals — Gospel and Open
On top of her medals, Elri was awarded a 4-year scholarship to the New York Film Academy (NYFA), complete with an official NYFA callback, and has since been offered work with three different record labels.
We are beyond proud of Elri and everything she's achieved on the world stage.
Her dedication, talent and heart have been incredible to watch — and a huge thank you to everyone in our KingsWay community who supported her along the way. We are proud of you, Elri!
