The term has drawn to a close. Despite the weather today I am thrilled with the way the first academic term of 2017 has gone.

Today I would like to talk to you about one of our core values as an OB’s boy and how this value not only identifies us as a school yet also identifies us as individuals.

This award recognises one young man in each year level who has lived our school values: Respect, Perseverance, Honour, Courage and Excellence. He ideally will be a student who has shown through his actions these values, not just his potential. This award, we hope, will inspire all our students. 

On Thursday morning we remembered the sacrifice and efforts of our old boys in World War 1.

Last week Otago Boys' High School hosted the Pasifika Education Service. 

THANK YOU!

I own and run the supervalue supermarket in Roxburgh. Often the Otago Boys' van has stopped at our shop for the boys to purchase refreshments on their way to different sporting events up country. I have had the privilege to serve some of them. They were all well groomed and extremely polite . I would like to thank you and all the staff at Otago Boys for developing and enforcing such a wonderful culture and I am thrilled that we chose Otago Boys for our son to attend.

Otago Boys’ High School were represented by a junior and senior team at this year’s championships. A fast developing sport, the quality of teams participating was high and there were no easy games as there have sometimes been at previous tournaments. The quality of the local sides was particularly evident, with many featuring in the higher placings in both the senior and junior competitions.

On Monday we hosted two football teams from Asquith Boys' High School in North Sydney.

On Sunday, the school orienteering team regained the High School Boys' Orienteering Trophy from Kavanagh College. 

Carlin Baumgartner, Liam de Beer and Connor Rolfe, three Otago Boys' High School students, will represent Dunedin in the Under 16 Trans-Tasman Tournament from 18 to 22 April.

The Otago Boys' High Parents Association are once again making our famous cheese rolls as one of our major fundraisers for 2017. 

The PTA have high quality OBHS polar fleece blankets for sale.

Hello everyone! So I’m sure most of you have already heard about this but Otago Boys’ High School is participating in the Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand’s annual Shave for a Cure event.

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