Our Year 9 parents and students are invited to attend an orientation evening.

Otago Boys’ High School is a Year 9-13 secondary school for boys. It was established in 1863. Today there are over 800 students, including approximately 150 hostel boys and a small number of international students, enrolled at any one time.

I extend a warm welcome to all new students and thank you for making this your school of choice.

The Senior Leadership team led by the Rector, manage the day to day running of the school.

There are four Houses at OBHS, each named after a famous ‘Old Boy’.

Each House has an appointed Dean to oversee the pastoral care of every student.

Every boy is a member of a vertical form class based on their house. This means you are in a house group of Year 9-13 boys.

Coming to school and arriving on time are the first steps in succeeding.

All of you have a uniform which you should be proud to be wearing. At the Year 9 level the Dean takes special note of how the uniform is worn and the pride with which it is worn. It is important all items of uniform are clearly named.

We cater for all the needs of our young men in many ways.

Transport to OBHS is provided by:

The first invoice will be emailed to every family at the end of February 2019.

Each course provides the opportunity for existing and future players to improve their skills in a curriculum based programme in their chosen sport.

It is fun and rewarding to improve in things, whether they be sports, music or cultural experiences.

The OBHS Lodge situated in the Matukituki Valley, Mt Aspiring National Park, is the jewel in our crown.

This original school haka was received with ‘vigorous applause by the boys to show their approval’ (1909). It has since had several changes.

The Otago Boys' High School has a very active and supportive parents' association.

The Parents' Association sell second hand uniforms on behalf of families.

Don't get lost. Use the map to guide you around the school. If you do get stuck just ask someone for directions, or head to the school office and they will help you.
