Rock Day is a cherished milestone for Kent students—a symbolic ascent marking the journey from their 5th to 6th form years. While today’s students make their climb to the Rock, we as alumni have our own Rock Day memories to treasure. Although we may not physically return to the Rock, our connection to this tradition remains strong, and together, future Kent students can enjoy it for generations to come. We invite you to reflect on your Rock Day, post your memories and photos, reminisce about your Rock Day at Kent, and join together in support of the School.
