Principal's Comments
Kelston Boys High School has obtained its reputation as one of the most successful Secondary Schools in New Zealand by promoting self-discipline, hard work, respect and tolerance, and a strong competitive spirit to excel in everything.

We look to our students becoming:
• People who are prepared to work and support one another
• People who have strong feelings of self-esteem and integrity
• People who can set realistic goals, meet challenges positively and aspire to high standards of performance and behaviour
• Citizens who can cope with change and technology

We expect and insist on high standards of behaviour, endeavour and commitment, and are very proud of the results achieved.
