Communication & Contact Details

Through Week 1 we will be asking the students to check their contact details. It is critical that parents / caregivers notify the school of changes to their contact details – physical address, email and phone. Changes should be updated with the school office by emailing Mrs J Gourdie jgourdie@nbhs.school.nz

In the case of an emergency or for urgent updates we may use a text messaging / SMS service. Increasingly we use the School App to push out updates. This is useful for parents / caregivers and students. Download ‘SchoolAppsNZ’ and select Napier Boys’ High School.

Youth Grant Fund

This fund is designed to help local youth to achieve their aspirations. The fund is open to anyone living in Napier aged between 12 – 24yo that is involved in a project or activity to promotes their personal development.

Applications open Wednesday 29 June and close Wednesday 3 August.

If your son, or a family member is interested in applying they can do so here.

School Board – Election

School Board Elections are soon. We are seeking nominations to join the NBHS Board. This is a fantastic way to contribute to the school community and support your son’s education. No experience is required to take on the role. There is plenty of training and support available.

Please give some thought to standing or nominating someone else. The call for nominations will be in July.

You can find further information on what it means to be on a school board here.
