Our History
At King’s College there is one girl’s and five
Parnell House was named after the boy’s Boarding Houses. The Houses are:
Grammar School, which was established in
1855 on Ayr Street, Parnell. The Grammar Selwyn House: Mr Kevin Put

before King's College was established by Parnell House: Mr Harry Wichman
Graham Bruce).
School House: Mr Dan Dyer

two Houses. School House was for boarders St John’s House: Mr Daryl Williams

three boarding Houses were all
accommodated in army barracks style
buildings for many years where conditions
were very harsh.
The present site, up the Drive, was opened
in 1969. There has been considerable
rearrangement of the House layout since
that time. At one stage the present common-
room served as the prep-room and library.
Our Crest
The Cross associates the House with Parnell

three stars (Estoiles) used elsewhere on
King's Coats of Arms (The College / St
John's / Selwyn) links it with the Diocesan

The Motto is Disciplina Fides Perseverantia.
This encourages success through personal "
