About King's Community Service Programme

King’s College aims to give its pupils an all-round education and it is our responsibility to encourage students to look beyond their own personal goals, be able to relate to others and show a degree of concern for them.

Last year over 500 students at King’s College were engaged in our Community Service programme. Each week, students volunteer their own time to help those in the community who really need it. This year we are hoping to build the programme even further.

In 2009 the following Community Services are available to our students.
Middlemore Hospital Reception, Kidz First Children’s Hospital , Cats in Need Trust, IHC and Retirement Homes, Woman’s Refuge Centre, Refugee Centre, Refugee Tutoring, Reading in Schools, Brain Injury Rehabilitation, an after school sports programme and reading programme at Edmund Hillary School. As well as this the programme includes one-off voluntary events such as charity drives for Kidz First and Red Puppy appeal.

At King’s College, we believe that Christianity begins through service to others. It is our hope that our students learn that freely giving ourselves to the service of others is a lifelong and highly rewarding responsibility.
