Key Staff 2026

Principal's Welcome

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to the new school year at The King's College. As we begin the year together, there is a real sense of anticipation and excitement across our community. A new year brings fresh opportunities for growth, learning and the deepening of relationships, and I am delighted to be joining the College as Principal as we embark on this journey together in 2026 and beyond.

We look forward to welcoming students back to the College and to all that the year ahead will bring.

Over the past few weeks, staff have been onsite engaging in a series of professional learning opportunities as they prepare for the year ahead. This preparation reflects our strong commitment to exceptional Christian education and to our mission of building on biblical truth so that students understand clearly, think deeply, judge wisely and live courageously.

This mission shapes every aspect of College life as we support our students to flourish academically and to grow as young people of strong character, grounded in faith and wisdom.

This year is especially significant as we celebrate the College's 40th Anniversary. It is a time to reflect with gratitude on the strong foundations laid in faith and the dedication of those who have served before us, while also looking forward with confidence and hope.

Guided by our theme, A Legacy of Faith and Faithfulness: Forming Lives. Shaping Futures, we remain committed to stewarding this legacy well for the generations to come. I am very much looking forward to getting to know our College community and feel deeply honoured to partner with you in the education of your child/ren.

Thank you for choosing The King's College. 

Kind regards,

Laurelle Coto
