A big congrats to Lachie Smith and Mason Kingan who have been selected to play hockey for the Future Hockey League U18 Alpiners Team. It is the South Island team and they play a tournament in December against other NZ regional teams and two teams from Australia.

Congrats to both lads.

Afternoon all - just letting our hostel community know about our parent event next Friday evening. A great chance to connect with other hostel parents before the Xmas Holidays. See you at the Law Courts on November 13th (don’t mention Friday the 13th!)

Happy Labour Day team - enjoy the day. We look forward to seeing a large number of you back today. Housemasters are on from midday. Dinner will be served at 5.15- Glen’s got burgers & chips ready to go 🍔 🍟.

On a side note: we now have 2 bookshelves running in our prep room. We have plenty of space for more books so if you have some that would be great for our boys, we would gratefully accept them.

Thank you in advance.

Last night a group of our year 9 & 10 lads went Smallbore shooting. This is a long-standing tradition with the hostel, and the man in charge, Gordon Tocher has been teaching many OBHS hostel lads the sport.
Each week this term we will be heading out & boys can become regulars or just give it a go.

Have a great, safe Labour Weekend.

This young man delivered one of the great “last words” at assembly this week. I hope all that were present and read this, take something from it. Well done Angus (Perky). 👏

A big welcome back to School House for Term 4. Mixed emotions around the place as our year 9’s are only a term away from finishing their first year with us. Our year 10s are close to stepping up to “the blazer”, our year 11s are about to start their first NCEA exams, year 12s have almost made it to their final year, while our year 13’s are reflecting on 5 years of growth, learning and friendship.

The next 4 weeks will go by very quickly for our seniors especially and before you know it, the year is over.

Dunners has turned the weather on for us to start the term and the boys have been getting out and enjoying the sun.

Couple of things to mention:
1) A long line of shoes are sitting at the hostel. If they’re still there by Friday they’ll go to a good home.

2) Year 13 Angus Perkins gave a fantastic “last word” at assembly today. I will post it once I have my hands on it.

3) Labour Weekend next weekend and the hostel is closed. Get your leave sorted now.

A big term ahead - I know the boys will enjoy it.

The ‘Friday Run Club’ had its 3rd instalment this morning. A good crowd of lads got themselves out of bed for a ‘wee 5km’ run.

Special mention to the rowers who were out and about at 5am!

Same time next week.

A big part of what’s happening in School House simply wouldn’t be possible without the Otago Boys' Foundation and the support of our wider OBHS community.

The upgraded spaces are going to make a real difference for the boys who live here.

Have a read of the latest Foundation newsletter to see what’s happening and how you can get involved.

And if your family is in a position to support the Future Oaks fundraiser, please do.
The fundraiser will be closed out on 18 December.
