The grade 2-4’s planned a classroom festival to celebrate different cultures as a part of their Social Science class... here is a screenshot from their event!

Yesterday was the start of two significant times for different members of our Kings’ Family: Happy Baisakhi to our Sikh and Punjabi students and their families as you celebrate the Punjab harvest festival and the start of the Sikh new year. Peaceful Ramadan/Ramadan Kareem to our Muslim students and their families at the beginning of your month of fasting, praying, family time, and charity.... May everyone have a safe and joyous time as we all go through these difficult times together.

Peel Public Health just announced that all schools in Peel, including private schools, are physically closed for at least the next two weeks. Miss Xuereb will be at the school tomorrow morning from 7:45 AM to 9:30 AM in case your child needs to pick up any books or other items that were left at school over the long weekend. After that, we will be closed physically for at least the next two weeks, and all classes will be online!

Our first day back from March Break , embracing the sunshine and nice weather!! We are so lucky to be able to take time out of our school day to safely soak up the sun, especially during such an isolated time in all of our lives!

Wishing all our friends and family a happy Valentine’s Day!

Pink Shirt Day aims to raise awareness around bullying, as well as raise funds to support programs that foster children’s healthy self-esteem. All of us at King's wore our pink shirts today to show our support!

Congratulations to two of our senior students, Chase & Scott, on getting accepted into the SHAD Canada program! Shad Canada is a STEAM and entrepreneurship program that accepts students with high aptitudes for risk taking, curiosity, excellence and resilience, and prepares them to take on social and economic challenges. We are so excited for you!

Congratulations to one of our grade 12’s, Neha, on her acceptance to Queen’s for engineering! We are so proud of you!

Last Wednesday was SPIRIT DAY! Teachers organized different themed ZOOM rooms and students were able to jump to any room to participate!! Mr. Dawson drew a mural with the ideas and drawings of students, Ms. Khanna and Mme Moore demonstrated how to do yoga, and Ms. X showed us her horses in the animal room! What a fun afternoon!

Congratulations to one of our Grade 12 students, Emily! Emily has been accepted to Animal Biology at the University of Guelph with an entrance scholarship. This is the program that Emily wanted most, as it put her on the path to her dream job of becoming a vet. Way to go, Emily!

What’s happening in ART CLASS?! King’s students learned how to draw 2 point perspective! They each designed a city street where all the shops had to be named after people close to them. Take a look at Alana and Anshika’s work!

Here comes 2021 We want to take the time to wish all our friends and family a safe, healthy, and MAGNIFICENT new year!

Congratulations to one of our graduates, Melissa, a top competitive equestrian, on her early acceptance to the University of Georgia. Melissa will be studying Exercise and Sports Science, and will be riding at the university as a part of their NCAA Division 1 Equestrian Team on an athletic scholarship. Well done, Melissa! We are so proud of you!

Bianca, a grade 6 virtual student, donated $100 to her local food bank in Markham! This is one of the many external contributions that was added to our $1000 challenge

During Classes at Home, all the same class discussions still happen. Here’s the Grade 11 Anthropology, Psychology, and Sociology class checking in with their teacher for their class discussion. It’s so much fun and so great to get together anyway we can!

Classes at Home Week 8 Ms.Speranzi’s Grade 11 French class read and discussed ‘Le Petit Prince’ during Classes at Home and then were asked to each create their own movie poster. They had to decide which actors to cast in the major roles and what the tag line - in French, of course - should be for the movie that they would produce. The posters are so pretty and fun! @ King's College School

Here’s a sample of King’s Classes at Home, still having classes together despite physically distancing: such a joy to see the Grades 4 to 6 classes all dressed up to do their speeches!

Some great creative things are happening during Classes at Home! The Grade 9 Art Class was given an assignment to make an artistic music video in the style of Erwin Wurm - a contemporary Austrian artist who poses inanimate objects with human subjects to create 'One Minute Sculptures’. The assignment was to find a song that spoke to each student, during the COVID-19 school disruption, and using the artist's work as inspiration create a video to match it. We hope you enjoy one of our student’s original interpretation of this artist’s work!

Classes at Home Science Structures Project - look at what can be done with Bristol Board, tape, and elastics! What a great model of Ontario Place done by a Grade 7 student! @ King's College School

The Grade 7 and 8 class had a month-long project in Science during Classes at Home to build a structure out of common things they could find at home. We are so impressed with this model of the Parthenon that one of our King’s kids has built - amazing what you can do with cardboard! @ King's College School
