Bull Rush - Heck Yes!

Year 11 Art students have had to ‘dig it in’ this week with a mere three weeks before the final twelve credit external examination finish line.

The end of Term 3 sees the departure of two of our International students.

On Thursday evening three OBHS teams competed in the Interschool Chemisty Quiz held at the Hutton Theatre.

First comes blackness. After years, when nails are scarred, raw from boredom, hunger consumes the mind… comes a pinprick of light. Just a speck, so small we turn away, continue listening to the complaints of a pestering stomach. Enough, so after a second we double take, looking back to see… yes, a pinprick of light.

Thanks to the generosity of Harraways and the School Council, students have been able to get a bowl of hot porridge for breakfast to start the day off well. 

Year 11 student Dominic Fretton has been busy in Metal Work this year creating a Samoan inspired stool. He has etched his personal design into the wooden top and the legs represent the colours of the Samoan flag, including stars on the blue leg.

Year 9 Design and Visual Communication students (Graphics) are finishing the term printing 3D key rings. 

On Wednesday 20 September we were privileged to host seven agents from the EDICM agency who are based in Tokyo.

On Thursday night, the finals for the Dunedin Senior Secondary Schools' Futsal Competition were played. 

On Monday morning four Otago Boys' High School students along with students from other local schools attended a Captains Breakfast held at Otago Polytechnic.

Congratulations to Year 11 student Cameron Porteous and Year 10 student Angus Faulks who will both head to Rotorua next week to attend the Touch New Zealand U16 TID Camp. They were picked to attend this camp at the National Tournament which was held at the start of the year and it is the second time Cameron has been selected to attend.

The boys pictured are Otago Football Reps and will be playing in South Island tournaments in Queenstown (13th grade) and Dunedin (14th grade) these holidays. Congratulations and good luck from OB's.

This year the event, while still overseen by Otago Secondary Schools’ Sport, was run in conjunction with the Dunedin Triathlon Club’s Otago Duathlon Championships. While numbers were down on previous years, particularly in the teams’ sections, the competition was strong. Competitors came from as far afield as Oamaru, Central Otago and the deep south.

Congratulations to Year 9 students Jak Stevenson and Oliver Colloty who have been selected to attend a camp at the National Talent Centre (NTC) for football in Masterton over the holidays.
