At the end of March, almost 100 OAs, pupils
and parents attended a reception in Hong Kong
generously hosted by OA Victor Chu.
Several young OAs have enjoyed sporting
success this year, with Jos Buttler having an
excellent season with Somerset, after touring
Bangladesh with the England Under 19 squad,
and Maddie Hinch making her debut in goal for
the full Great Britain hockey team against
Germany, giving an "outstanding performance"
according to The Daily Telegraph. A number of
successful sporting events were held at King's,
including a tennis tournament pitting OAs
against the current school team.
