Hauora and Pastoral Care
At KingsWay we are committed to promoting the hauora (wellbeing) of our students and recognise that a student’s wellbeing directly affects their ability to learn.
To support their wellbeing and create a safe and supportive environment each student has a LifeLab/homeroom teacher as their main pastoral caregiver. This teacher is the first point of contact for pastoral care and wellbeing concerns for both students and parents. This includes notifications of bullying.
To further support student hauora our Pastoral Care and Wellbeing Team is available.

Counsellors
The KingsWay counselling team is available to provide emotional, social, and psychological support to primary, middle and senior school students. Our counsellors listen, encourage, and assist students in helping to connect faith to everyday life and celebrate their God-given strengths. Counsellors serve our student community, specialising in brief therapy, and all student engagement is voluntary and confidential.
Referrals to the counselling team can be made by students, parents or staff.
Should you wish to make a referral, please email Annie Brown (Head of Counselling) with the following information:
- Name of Student.
- Confirmation that you have discussed the referral with your child and have their agreement.
- The nature of the issue.

NEWS AND NOTICES
These amazing students in our Senior School Choir woke up in the very, very early hours of the morning and drove down to Eden Park to sing for the Auckland Prayer Breakfast. They shared beautiful worship songs with our wider Christian community before the event started. There were 600+ attendees, and there was a beautiful atmosphere of prayer and worship. We are grateful to Auckland Church Network for inviting us to participate in this wonderful event. ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations to the KingsWay Evolocity Team
This past Saturday, 19 October 2024, our Evolocity Team, known as AE2 (led by Samuel Anderson, together with Tim Erasmus), competed in the Auckland Regional Finals, which took place at the RNZ Whenuapai Air Force base. For this season, the team decided to participate in the Open class, which means they were allowed to use a stronger motor (up to 2kW). The boys decided to enter a completely new build, which proved to be quite the challenge, but with help from the sponsors, Hi-Power Performance Silverdale and Motion Design, they completed their build and competed. Competition was fierce, and despite some setbacks and emergency repairs on the day, AE2 took second place overall in performance and second place in engineering design. Many valuable engineering lessons were learned, which will result in more fun and an improved design for next year.
