With the Fortress 40 challenge now complete, some of the team reflected on what they learned after pushing themselves to their physical limits. Fortress 40 is a 40-hour physical and mental challenge to raise awareness about men's mental health and a fundraiser to support the Movember Foundation https://nz.movember.com/mospace/15363405 (the Movember Foundation is a registered NZ charity)

Feeling Safe Survey
'mei a Gerry Atkin - Monday, 15 September 2025, 4:29 PM 'aho
 

All students deserve the right to feel safe in their school environment and at Palmerston North Boys’ High School we work hard to provide a positive experience for our young men. As such, bullying and other antisocial behaviour is unacceptable.  However, we are aware that it does occur within groups of people and unfortunately can be an issue for students in secondary schools.  Our fundamental school rules are very clear that bullying will not be tolerated.  When issues are brought to our attention, we do our utmost to deal with them. 

However, in order for us to have effective systems in place it is important that we have a good understanding of the nature of any bullying issues at school.  To obtain this data we would like you to complete an anonymous survey:

All school sports, regardless of the level of competition, rely on volunteer officials. A huge thank you to the young men who have refereed, umpired, run score benches or officiated in other capacities during 2025.

Palmerston North Boys’ High School has developed a positive relationship with the University of Canterbury, Massey University, Victoria University and the University of Waikato, and university papers are taught in a range of subject areas at PNBHS by our staff members. Additionally, a number of young men complete papers outside of these offerings via distance learning.

In 2025, our young men were entered into a total of 109 semester one first-year university papers and achieved 49 A+, 30 A, and 14 A- grades. These are outstanding results and these young men were presented with certificates at assembly this morning in recognition of their hard work.
