Boys reaching their potential in life and learning.

Welcome to the Otago Boys' High School Website 

3rd Sept

The past week has seen quite a number of teams involved in Tournament week where teams travel to their various National Tournaments. We have had the 1st and 2nd Hockey, 1st Basketball, 1st Football, Chess, Golf, U15 Rugby, Badminton and Ice Hockey teams involved. As they return we will print the results - suffice to say though, that some have found the step up from being top locally,  to national competition very challenging.

11th Aug

Recently a number of our students have represented the School in quite different events with impressive results.

Our squash team travelled to Christchurch and finished a very creditable 4th been beaten in their play-off for 3rd by Tauranga Boys' High School.

At the same time we had a team of skiers and snowboarders competing in the Otago/Southland Secondary Schools Championships where they gained 2nd place in the teams Slalom event. This result, against schools who are domiciled in the area and have ski academies, was hard earned with hundreths of a second splitting individuals and teams.

Sam Madden ensured that the Madden name continues to be heard in Otago music circles with a 2nd placing in the senior section of the New Zealand Association of Teachers of Singing Cleveland Awards for solo singers. Sam has regularly participated in our school productions.

Our congratulations to all of the participants in bringing credit to themselves for some excellent performances, but for also helping display the diverse range of activities we offer at a very high level, both, locally and nationally.
