Athletic Program
King’s College School’s athletic program takes a different approach from traditional athletic programs. We believe in providing daily opportunities for students to engage in outdoor play and skill development in lifestyle sports, while also making all academic schedule accommodations necessary for competitive student athletes to pursue both their academic and sporting needs. The daily school schedule is such that all students have a one hour Sports period that they use for outdoor play. This outdoor play includes wide games, soccer, football, volleyball, and tobogganing etc. As well, the school goes to the Haliburton Forest Reserve for a week each fall for leadership and team building, as well as canoeing, rock climbing and other outdoor recreational pursuits.
Annual Haliburton Trip
Each year, the King’s students from Grades 7 to 12 go to the Haliburton Forest Reserve for a one week team-building experience, away from all modern conveniences, that takes them WAY out of their comfort zone – with great results! The Haliburton week features leadership exercises, team-building activities, and physical and social challenges. Each student is asked to share a goal for the week with the group. At the end of each day, the students reflect on their weekly goals, ask for help from others, and give feedback and encouragement to each other on their progress towards their goals. It is this shared challenge, struggle, hardship, and resolution that creates the foundation of the King’s family. Throughout the week, the students learn to function as a family, and this newly formed family brings these hard-learned lessons back to the school to mentor the junior students who are waiting to experience Haliburton for themselves.
