University Results
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.

Feeling Safe Survey
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:
