An exciting and busy week this week with the culmination of major leadership positions for 2026, our final ICC Sporting event tonight, and a major community weekend with Parent Cocktails and KIP.
Many thanks to all those who attended the Blue Bus leadership sessions. I have chatted to many who have attended and I know there has been some great discussion and energy around culture and 2026.
Whatever role you play this weekend, I wish you every success.
ANDREW EUNSON - DEPUTY CEO
Senior Common Room Elections
Please note that the Senior Common Room election will take place at 1pm next Friday 17 October in the Chapel. All 2nd year students who are returning for a 3rd year in 2026 are encouraged to come along and vote for the incoming executive.
Returner Applications for 2026 + 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.
