Why Parents Choose KingsGate
"My son comes home and acts out the knowledge he has gained and his spiritual formation is nurtured and affirmed by the staff and the other children."
"My daughter comes home and teaches me Te reo Maori songs and words and Christian songs too. I love learning with her!"

Our Future
Great news for our school! It is with great pleasure that I can announce on behalf of the KingsGate BOT that the Kingsway Land Trust have been granted resource consent for land works and the building of our new school. This means that the Kingsway Land Trust, in consultation with the KingsGate School BOT, will green-light the start of the new school site earthworks in October this year, followed by the construction of the school buildings themselves in February 2021. God willing, the new KingsGate School is scheduled to open on its new site at Blake Road in February 2022. Chris Hills Board of Trustees Chairperson

Graduate Profile
Unlike a mission or vision statement, a graduate profile for us is an illustration that we use to specify the spiritual, cognitive, personal, and interpersonal competencies that students should have when they graduate.
The KingsGate graduate profile was co-created with input from key stakeholders and provides a clear visualization of priority goals for teaching and learning. The graduate profile is easily communicated to students, parents, staff and board of trustees and can be used to align our collective efforts.
Teacher Profile
Being a teacher at KingsGate School is a privilege and an honour. KingsGate School teachers are charged with providing a unique education for our students. Teachers deliver the New Zealand Curriculum through a Biblical world-view framework whereby all teaching and learning strategies are found within the teaching of Christ our Lord. They approach each child’s learning journey holistically ensuring that they provide an environment where their students emotional, academic and spiritual needs are met to the fullest extent possible. It takes a special person to be a KingsGate School teacher and as such we choose teachers who actively display the traits in the KingsGate School Teacher profile illustration.
