KING’ S COMMUNITY

Celebrating Sporting Excellence

King’ s College and the New Zealand Olympic Committee jointly hosted a night to‘ Celebrate Sporting Excellence’ on Thursday 14 March at The Cloud Queen’ s Wharf.
Over 300 guests representing the King’ s College community were joined by current and past New Zealand Olympians including; Lauren Boyle, Sam Webster, Alison Shanks, Blair Tuke, Simon van Velthoven and Rebecca Scown all of whom were interviewed by Sky Television presenter Stephen McIvor and were later auctioned off as part of the live auction.
