WHANGĀREI BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL

Welcome

For over 145 years, Whangārei Boys’ High School has stood as a cornerstone of education in Te Tai Tokerau. More than a place of learning, our school is a living legacy. A kura shaped by tradition, strengthened by brotherhood, and carried forward by generations of young men who have passed through our gates.

Carrying the Legacy Forward

Our legacy lives in the young men who leave this kura. We honour the past while equipping our boys to carry the values and spirit of WBHS.

Developing Fine Young Men

We develop young men of character, confidence, and integrity with high expectations, strong relationships, and a sense of belonging.

Anchored in Brotherhood

WBHS is built on strong relationships and belonging. Brotherhood means standing together and supporting one another.

Anchored in Excellence

Excellence at WBHS is defined by high expectations, consistency, and continual improvement.

School Life

Whangārei Boys’ High School is more than a school. It is a brotherhood. It is a legacy. It is a place where boys are shaped into fine men.
