CBHS BUILDS CONFIDENT, CARING AND ARTICULATE YOUNG MEN OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Canterbury Boys High School is a progressive secondary school valuing excellence in the classroom, on the sporting field and in all cooperative community endeavours.

We recognise the importance of the partnership between parents, teachers and students, and see it as the key to producing young men who are lifelong learners prepared to take on the challenges of the workforce and become responsible members of our community.

Canterbury Boys High School has a harmonious and supportive environment where every student is encouraged to develop their individual academic, personal, social and sporting potential.

We recognise the value of our cultural diversity including an international student program which enables students to develop tolerance, awareness, respect and pride as citizens of a diverse community.

The committed and passionate staff at Canterbury Boys High School provide a range of diverse and innovative programs to produce compassionate and respectful future leaders.

LEADERSHIP

We believe that for students to reach their potential in and beyond the classroom they need challenging and safe environments to explore their many talents.

In all stages of their school life, students are challenged to develop the skills to think
