Headmaster's Comment:
Hastings Boys' High School, established at the beginning of last
century, has remained a central focus of learning for students in the
Hawke's Bay. With its timeless character of the original
buildings, the interior represents the new millennium with first class
facilities, specialist teaching rooms equipped with all the modern
facilities required to prepare students for a successful future.
Hastings Boys' is viewed as a traditional school with its emphasis on
discipline, respect and tolerance of others and I welcome this
perception. Within this traditional foundation every student has
the opportunity to succeed through the use of the most modern systems
and technologies and innovative teaching and learning programmes.
The course structure which we will offer in 2007 builds on a basis which
has been progressive yet balanced. it will continue to offer a
good range of options at all year levels and it will expand upon the
vocational directed courses offered to years 12 and 13. All
students will be enabled to work to the best of their abilities and the
determination of the school is to provide every opportunity for them to
do this.
Our curriculum on offer, and the variety of assessments used from NCEA
levels 1, 2 and 3 unit standards and the internationally recognised
Cambridge Exam puts Hastings Boys amongst the leaders of the New Zealand
schools.
The pastoral care of our students is paramount in preparing young men
for the future. an extensive support network is available to all
boys so that they feel cared for, valued and work in a safe supportive
environment.
I feel that Hastings Boys' is particularly well equipped to prepare
young men for whatever future they might aim for. the achievements
and contributions of many of our old boys in the worlds of academia,
business, the military, the arts and sport, are testimony to the
preparation they received at this school.
My staff and I look forward to being a part of your son's future too.
