King’s School Rochester was delighted to welcome Brigadier Salzano for the biennial inspection of the Combined Cadet Force contingent last week

King's School Rochester was featured on BBC Radio Kent last night as our Director of Drama was invited to talk about Moon Landing, the Senior School musical production opening tonight.

Yesterday we were thrilled to have Shorne Church Of England, St Margarets At Troy Town, Chantry Academy and English Martyrs at our Moon Landing dress rehearsal. The performance was so powerful and left the audience very inspired. Break a leg to the cast on open night this evening!

Cadets from the King's CCF Unit spent the weekend in the woods putting their field skills into practice.

The final Zetountes Lecture of the term brought Hamish Low to King's to address a spell-bound audience of pupils, staff and governors, recounting the remarkable story of the "Table for the Nation", at the start of its year-long residency in Rochester Cathedral.

Mr Andrew Carpenter delivered the latest Zetountes Lecture, addressing an audience of King's Scholars on the challenges of peace-keeping. Drawing on his extensive experience as Chief of the United Nations Police Division’s Strategic Policy and Development Section, which included operational service in places such as Darfur, Mr Carpenter highlighted the responsibilities of all nations to preserve peace in a globalized world. His talk was both illuminating and engaging, inviting the audience to continue the "fight for peace".

On Tuesday we held the fourth Sixth Form Business Challenge. This year it was sponsored by John Taylor of Alchemy Technology Services Limited, who provided a cash prize to the members of the winning team.

On Monday our Sixth form Politics pupils spent a beautiful day in London visiting the UK Supreme Court then the Houses of Parliament.

Last week the Charities Committee had a great day out visiting Cobbes Meadow, so that they could learn about the charity we are supporting this year and do a few odd jobs for them, as well as make a list of bigger jobs that we can go and help them with later in the year.
