A traditional school with a contemporary heart

School Board

Nau mai, haere mai.

Welcome to Southland Boys’ High School.

First founded in 1881, Southland Boys’ High School is a place where tradition and a strong sense of belonging connect our students to the past whilst ensuring they are ready for their future - not for school but for life we are learning!

We are proud to be a boys’ school that is focused on understanding the needs of boys, and develops programmes that recognise their different learning and pastoral care needs.

Our students are supported by a team of highly skilled educators and support staff who work very hard to support boys, who are good role models and who provide opportunities for all boys in academics, cultural and sporting pursuits.

Southland Boys’ High School students are a brotherhood and form lifelong friendships that carry them through their time at school and into adult life - as can be attested by Old Boys’ who live both locally and all around the world.
