Kingweston
                This year at Kingweston has been truly special
                – a year defined by camaraderie, laughter,
                and a deepening house spirit. From the
                unforgettable House Song performance to
                curry nights, socials, silent discos, treat nights,
                and weekend adventures, the boys have
                thrown themselves into every opportunity.
                The now-legendary backyard cricket league,
                our Saturday steak braais, and spontaneous
                games of manhunt have brought joy and
                togetherness in equal measure. The 21 new
                joiners have been a fantastic addition, settling
                in seamlessly thanks to the inclusive and
                welcoming culture that makes Kingweston
                feel like home. Our boys have shown heart
                in competition, humour in challenge, and
                kindness in community. The spirit, pride, and
                support they offer one another is exceptional.
                To crown it all, as we move into the next
                academic year, we proudly celebrate five
                school prefects one of which has been
                awarded Captain of School - a powerful
                reflection of the leadership and character that
                runs through the heart of the house.
