KingsView History

KingsView School began life in 1996 as Southern Lakes Christian School. It was established as a private school by the Christian School Association of Queenstown (CSAQ) building on the vision of the Wielemaker and Sizemore families. It opened with 8 pupils from five families in a private home, but the school soon outgrew this and subsequently found a home in the Presbyterian Church of Queenstown. 

As a result of continued growth, the school moved to its current site, 14 Yewlett Crescent in 2007 allowing us the space to continue to increase the student numbers. 

An application was made to integrate the school into the state education system which was approved in 2010 by the Minister of Education. With integration, the school’s name was changed to KingsView School.

KingsView School was opened by the Deputy Prime Minister, Bill English on February 11th, 2011, with 17 students, 1 teacher and 1 principal.
