Congratulations to all of the staff and students who competed in the recent national summer tournament week.

It was the 15th of May 2014, 3:25pm and I was lining up for my first ever 1500m race. Little did I know that this race would be one of my greatest ever failures.

On Wednesday the school was visited by a Royal New Zealand Navy Seasprite.

Let me tell you about the journey of our Year 10 camp in 2018.

I awoke at around 5am on Friday the 16th of March to my dog licking my face wanting outside.

Being welcomed by the Haka was one of the most impressive things I saw in this school.

The 2018 Maadi Regatta was held at Lake Ruataniwha from the 18th to the 24th of March.

Despite competitive swimmer numbers being low again the quality of performances were top notch.

The South Island Secondary Schools Athletics Championships were held in Timaru on 23 - 25 March.

Congratulations to Year 12 student Dylan Murcott who over Otago Anniversary weekend along with two other competitors from his judo club participated in the Wellington Open Judo Competition. Dylan won Gold in the Cadet Men's Open (all weight grades) and a Bronze in the Under 90kg Junior Men's Competition.

The OBHS 1st Touch team recently competed in the South Island Championships which were played in Christchurch. The team performed admirably, overcoming controversy, exhaustion and fatigue. The boys overcame great odds to not only secure their first Nationals Qualification but also their first South Island Championship title.

Next Friday, 13 April, Otago Boys' High School will close early for tuition, at 1.15pm, to allow our teachers to run parent interviews with our hostel boys.

As the 2018 rugby season fast approaches we want to encourage all new and existing players/parents to register by completing an OBHS Winter Sports Registration form that can be found at the school office.

This year’s combined production with OGHS is the musical Strictly Ballroom. Based on the popular Baz Luhrmann film, it is a story about following your heart and holding on to your dreams.

Support Otago Boys' High School and you’ll be rewarded!
