Why Waitaki Boys' High School?

• Academic Excellence, Pathway to University. NCEA offered in a wide range of subjects.
• Our academic support network includes providing an English language programme for those who may desire it.
• Strong focus on academic and pastoral support for international students
• Wide range of sporting, extracurricular and cultural activities with high quality coaching and tuition.
• Boarding options on campus at our Don House Hostel
• Expansive grounds and facilities
• Founded in 1883 and is one of the oldest schools in the country.
• Our school roll is currently around 420 - big enough to offer a broad curriculum (we also share classes with Waitaki Girls’ High School and run courses through ARA Polytechnic) but small enough (the smallest boy’s state school in the country) to know every student and their particular needs.
• We have a multi-cultural team focused on assisting all international students in reaching their individual goals so that they may pathway on to the next step in the learning journey.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Waitaki Boys' High School family and to Oamaru.
