A MODERN SCHOOL WITH A RICH PAST CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL
Mā te hūmārie, te manaaki, te akiaki, te māramatanga,

WELCOME TO
Welcome to Christchurch Boys' High School. This is a great
community. We have a clear moral purpose of educating fine
young men towards outstanding achievement and ensuring

BOYS’ HIGH
relationships with our students and guiding them to academic
and social success.
In an increasingly technological world, our core purpose of
SCHOOL modelling and encouraging caring and compassionate men,
who have the strength to follow their values, has become
even more important. Boys in a boys’ school do achieve
A MESSAGE FROM THE more highly in NCEA, boys’ schools do have a greater work
focus and even more importantly boys’ schools provide an
HEADMASTER environment within which to discuss, celebrate and craft a
modern masculinity.
As a school we are very excited about our rebuild, and the
Altiora Peto - I Seek Higher Things plans for our classrooms reflect our desire to emphasise
the importance of the relationship between the teacher and
students, and the principle that students should feel valued
and inspired by their learning spaces.
We have close ties with our active and supportive community
of parents, Old Boys and friends who contribute enormously
to our success. The staff of Christchurch Boys' High School
do have high expectations of the performance and character
of all boys, and understand their role in building meaningful
relationships and acting as significant role models. This school
is a warm and energetic place with a strong sense of purpose
and identity.

eLEARNING
At Christchurch Boys’ High School, we want to prepare our
students for the digital and connected world they will be
citizens in. All students have been strongly encouraged to
bring their own device to school.
eLEARNING ENABLES OUR STUDENTS TO:
• collaborate and learn at any time in an online space
• access and create digital content
• connect and communicate globally
eLearning also enables our staff to develop varied and
personalised learning programmes. Staff can easily monitor
student performance and offer effective and timely feedback.
However, we also recognise the importance of retaining the
best parts of traditional teaching practice. We still believe
that our boys need to be engaged in practical hands-on
activities and thus we use a blended approach that combines
online and face-to-face teaching and learning.

NEW HALL, NEW SCHOOL The School Hall opened in September 2017. The Hall seats the entire school and this is a strategic imperative that has long been identified by the school community. The School Hall will bring our community together to extend the School’s sense of belonging and community, enhance relationships and provide a stage for the celebration of achievements. Importantly the Hall will give the Performing Arts a home at School. 4 www.cbhs.school.nz
CADDICK - GROUND FLOOR
NEW CLASSROOMS
The school has developed a set of ‘Principles for Classroom Design’.
These principles work as our design brief and they take into account modern
educational developments and CBHS cultural imperatives.
THE KEY MESSAGES ARE THAT OUR CLASSROOMS SHOULD :
• Maximise and emphasise the relationship between teacher and student
• Feel purposeful
• Enable interdisciplinary connections
• Encourage adaptability
• Embrace both heritage and innovation
• Enable collaboration
• Take advantage of new technologies
• Inspire students and make them feel valued
We now have a preliminary design for our classrooms and expect construction
to begin by the end of the year.
