Te Kura o ngā Tamatoa o Whangārei/ Whangārei Boys' High School is the only school for boys in Te Tai Tokerau. With 1450 students, 43% of whom identify as Māori, we have a rich, vibrant community where there are high expectations and high aspirations for all students and staff.

Whangārei Boys’ High School has a long history of fostering academic excellence, personal growth, and a strong sense of community.

Our motto of "Developing Boys into Fine Men" is central to all that we do, given the number of boys who graduate from our school who will become the next generation of leaders in Aotearoa New Zealand.

We have a capable and supportive, established leadership team who operate effectively within a newly built learning environment.

As we look to the future, we seek an inspiring and visionary leader who is committed to maintaining and advancing our tradition of high standards while embracing innovation and inclusivity.
