Welcome
We are enriched by a
proud heritage, but forward-looking and progressive
in our task of educating boys to meet the challenges
of the new millennium. Boys come to us from all over
New Zealand, and from many countries overseas. The
historic town of Oamaru is safe and secure, and
within easy reach of inland lakes and mountains, and
the University city of Dunedin.
The environment and
traditions of the school have exercised a remarkable
effect upon generations of boys. We are blessed with
a spectacular site, magnificent buildings and
gardens, and generous resources. Indeed, in
appearance and ethos Waitaki Boys' is often mistaken
for a private school.
With a roll of 550, we
are small enough to know each boy well, and to
recognise his individual character and needs, but
large enough to offer an extensive academic and
vocational curriculum, and an impressive
co-curricular programme.
Our students are proud
to be Waitakians. You will find here a tremendous
school spirit. The big 'events' of the
school year such as the Cultural Competition and the
Senior Prizegiving are inspirational. The enthusiasm
and vitality of the boys shines through.
We
are clear about our primary task. It is to identify
and develop the potential of every boy. The main aim
of this website is to show you how we help all
students to fulfill these expectations, and thus to
realize their potential, so they graduate
as confident, self-motivated and well-rounded young
men ready to find their place in the world.
Please contact me if
you would like further information about our school,
or would like to visit.
Kind regards
Paul Jackson
Rector
