Our Students Thoughts
 |
Gavin Hedley Y9 The teachers here are friendly and approachable. I like how we are always encouraged to achieve excellence in everything we do. When you walk through the assembly hall and see the photos of past students you get a real sense of the tradition and pride that is important to Gisborne Boys’ High School. |

Connor Andrew Y10 I really enjoy the fun and exciting lessons taught at Gisborne Boys’ High school. I particularly like Social Science and English which are always interesting and well organised. I also like the wide range of different sports that are offered and how the school encourages competition and a sense of belonging through the house system. |

Chance Beckett - Ria Y11 At Gisborne Boys’ High School I have been challenged in every way. I have classes that suit me and the ways I like to learn. I have teachers who are really interested in me and who expect me to work hard. I have had the opportunity to lead the choir and the kapahaka group and was awarded the prize for top national kaea in 2008. I also have the opportunity to travel to play top level rugby with the schools 2nd XV. |

Eli Waata - Amai Y12 The staff at Gisborne Boys’ High School give a lot of their time to students, particularly outside the classroom. I am involved in the 1st XV rugby, touch, kapahaka and choir and I know that the staff put in big hours. It makes me feel like I want to succeed and has shown me the value of hard work. |

Manaaki Terekia Y13 (Head Prefect) In 2009 I am the Head Prefect of Gisborne Boys’ High School. The school gives all students the chance to succeed in many areas. I have had the opportunity to learn and to attain academic success in any subject. The school expects its top students to succeed. I have had the chance to participate in a wide variety of sports. The school has a proud tradition and an expectation of success. We are given the opportunity to become leaders in a range of fields and we are able to go out into the community with an expectation that we can succeed. |
