Dear Young Men,
Re: Wellbeing at School
Young people’s wellbeing has been a significant topic in society in general and education in particular for the last decade. We are involved in a research project through the International Boys’ Schools Coalition (IBSC) and require your help.
The link below is to a survey that we need ALL young men to complete.

This survey, coordinated by Professor Andrew Martin of the Educational Psychology Group at the University of New South Wales, is being completed by boys at boys’ schools across the globe. The information from this survey will be used to help develop strategies and resources for schools to use to support the wellbeing of young men. As such we believe that it is an important project for us to support and contribute to.
We would appreciate it if you could please ensure you complete the survey before Friday, May 10. It will take approximately 20 minutes and needs to be completed in one session.
Thank you for your assistance.
Yours faithfully,
D M Bovey

During the recent school holidays both students and staff had the privilege of meeting old boys Ric Prangnell (2006-2010) and Tiaan Greig (2018-2022) who have immersed themselves in learning the art of whakairo (carving).
Ric Prangnell was a student of Te Kawai Raupapa and Te Toi Matua courses at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa under the tutelage of Glenn Hauraki. He has continued to carve and has an exhibition at the Square Edge Art Centre.
Tiaan Greig completed Te Kawai Raupapa course at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in 2023 and was accepted into Te Puia, NZ Māori Arts & Crafts Institute (NZMACI) in Rotorua earlier this year to pursue excellence in whakairo (carving) under the Tumu Whakarae (master carver) Clive Fugill.
