, were flying to the UK watch the King’s First VIII race in the schoolboys’ Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup.that flights were originally intended to be first class, an expense signed off by Mrs Abrahams, although were later changed to business class.
Mrs Abrahams’ letter acknowledged the story had caused “a degree of concern” for some in the school community. She said the regatta was an ideal opportunity to engage with strategically relevant schools, “namely, boarding schools that row, are recognised as best-in-class and are thus aligned with The King’s School”.
King’s headmasters have travelled to the United Kingdom for many decades to “develop, sustain, and enhance relationships with these like-minded schools to enrich the opportunities available to the staff and students of King’s,” an essential activity interrupted by the pandemic, Mrs Abrahams said. “Being at Henley to support the crew’s assault on the Princess Elizabeth Cup and to meet with schools that can help advance our strategic initiatives is more important,” Mrs Abrahams said. The travel was arranged according to the protocols of the school council and the school.initially approached King’s, the school did not comment on suggestions the trip was worth $45,000, including accommodation. Mrs Abrahams told the school community on Tuesday that cost was “grossly exaggerated.
