King’s High Association of Parents and Staff
Affectionately known as ‘KHAPS’, our parent and teacher association provides a wide range of opportunities for parents to get actively involved in King’s High life through both social and fundraising events. Its aim is to promote close co-operation between home and school for the advantage and welfare of our students. All money raised goes directly back to the school in the form of donations for awards, equipment and support for the students’ charity projects.
Ceilidh
Haggis, neeps and tatties were recently enjoyed at our first ever Ceilidh, kindly organised by Mrs Watt and our amazing KHAPS committee. The Scottish pipe band and Ceilidh band were incredible, the dancing lively and energetic, and much fun was had by all. Our feet are still tapping!
