A Message From The Rector

A significant achievement for many boys this week was receiving their centurion badges. For Year 13's, who were the first to get them this year, the badge is doubly powerful. Not only does it represent a strong academic year, but that they have achieved highly over their five years with us.

The Last Word

At Otago Boys', we are a team. All of us: teachers, juniors, seniors; are a part of each others journey, and I would argue are a crucial part to each other’s success. Whether we done the hoops, or a PE top, a grey shirt or a blazer, we are all part of the same school, the same brotherhood, the same team. Boys in your five years of being in this team you will learn about many things, but most importantly you will learn about yourselves.
