CBHS Life
Why choose Christchurch Boys’ High School?
Our curriculum is holistic, and we strongly believe in the importance of our teachers building side by side relationships with our students and guiding them to academic and social success.
In an increasingly technological world, our core purpose of modelling and encouraging caring and compassionate men, who have the strength to follow their values, has become even more important.
Boys in boys’ schools do achieve more highly in NCEA, boys’ schools do have a greater work focus and even more importantly boys’ schools provide an environment within which to discuss, celebrate and craft a modern masculinity.
Academic
We value high academic achievement, but recognise the importance of creating well-rounded young men.
We encourage independent thinking and problem solving in our students, giving them opportunities to develop their humanity and thrive in a rapidly changing society.
Sport
CBHS aims to provide a sporting environment which caters for the diverse and changing school community through the provision of a variety of sporting activities for all students who wish to participate in sport, regardless of ability.

Culture & the Arts

Well-being (Hauora)
Counsellors are available for you to see at any time you wish during school hours, regarding any matter. The school very much encourages you to go and speak to them at any time about any concerns or problems that may be on your mind.
