As we approach a busy week of ICC Sporting & Cultural activities, I would like to highlight the fantastic day last Sunday when the Community came together for Henry's Long Lunch and Quad Sesh. It was fantastic to catch up again with the Jennings as well as old collegians who made it back for the event.
A shout out also to those who have entered works in the ICC Art Show on Sunday as well as those preparing for the 1 Act Play scheduled for Tuesday. I would encourage collegians to support these endeavours as much as possible.
With the F & K Cup also scheduled for Wednesday, I wish our players and coaches all the best for what is looking like a tough hit up. In addition, to our Club Netball Team in the quarter finals hit-out this Saturday.

Returner Applications for 2025 + Key Dates
As is the case this time of year, the College would ask you to start considering whether you are looking to return to the College in 2026. As you do so, I would encourage you to also ‘check the market’ relating to living costs and availability outside of the College. It is currently a complex environment.
This year, Returner Applications will open on Tuesday 16 September**, and your application needs to be submitted no later than COB Friday 17 October. Please note, a non-refundable* Application Deposit of $500 will need to be paid with your application, and will be applied as a payment against next year’s fees.
*The $500 non-refundable deposit will only be refunded if King’s does not offer you a position in 2026 in either the Round 1 Offer (26 Nov) or Round 2 Offer (10 Dec).
**Students who have recently submitted an application, or submit one prior to 16 September, will need to be redone. Applications submitted prior to 16 September will be deleted.
