Since 1882 NPBHS has been leading the way in the education of boys in a world class environment. From the famous amphitheatre that is the Gully Ground, (the stage for the incomparable full school haka), to the impressive 1200 seat Ryder Assembly Hall, NPBHS is a modern learning environment where traditional standards of achievement and behaviour are expected. Our hostel, with 170 Boarders is the heart of the school, not just in terms of culture and standards but because it is also set within the heart of 37 acres of park like school grounds.
Our passionate and dedicated staff ensure NPBHS has an innovative and challenging curriculum which combines a testing academic programme with an exhaustive list of curricula activities. It is proven that many life skills and values are obtained through the participation in extra curricular activities.
Oakura School is a vibrant full primary school (year 1-8) of approximately 380 students. The school is nestled between the Kaitake Ranges and the beautiful Oakura Beach. Our dedicated and caring staff, supportive community and rich learning environment, combine to create unique opportunities for our students. Oakura School students learn to think and learn to care, in a learning community which prepares them for a successful future.
