Old Boys' Association

The Old Boys' Association proudly follows the actions and deeds of our Old Boys'. We maintain strong links with Waitaki Boys' High School and you can keep in touch with friends for years to come. 

Waitaki Boys' High School has done much to ensure your start in life has been a successful one. Accordingly, the Old Boys' Association comprises those who continue to have the interests of the School at heart, and wish, in some small way, to retain their connection with the School.

Your school days may be a rapidly diminishing memory, but the friendships which you established while at school will remain and strengthen throughout life. To this end, membership of the Old Boys' Association is an enjoyable and informative way of keeping in touch with the school and fellow former pupils. The preservation of these links is one of the key functions of your Old Boys's Association.

The Old Boys' Association provides an ongoing contribution to the school in the shape of funding towards prize giving as well as carrying out interviews and funding they Prestigious Milner Scholarship (2023 recepient - Dom Walsh). More recently academic and cultural scholarships have been awarded to two Year 9 students (2024 recepients - Tom Dukes and Toni Tonga respectively).
