William King Elementary is a Primary to Grade 6 school
nestled in the scenic village of Herring Cove.




Welcome to the new WKES website!

2012 brings with it a new site for the school!
Have a look around and see what you think.

There is a handy "How to Use This Site" guide at the top of the right-hand side menu which explains some of the unique features of the site, such as how to navigate the site and how to use the calendar feature.

Please keep in mind that this site is a work-in-progress; any feedback is always welcome (you can even use the contact form on the Contact Us page)!

Thanks for visiting the site!

After much anticipation our new playground is ready. What a fantastic addition to our school!  A big thank you to the playground committee for their time and dedication in making WKES an even better place to learn and play.
