ABOUT TAURANGA BOYS' COLLEGESubtitle

Tauranga Boys' College is a state secondary school for boys, located on the edge of the downtown area of Tauranga.

Founded in 1958, the College has gained a national reputation as one of the best state boys' schools in New Zealand.

Our College values the goodness of tradition, encourages excellence in all things and it provides the opportunities for boys to expand their range of skills and abilities as they work through the process of becoming good men.

Tauranga Boys' College is committed to the pursuit of academic excellence. It provides expansive educational opportunities, and a positive, well-resourced and safe environment in which highly-qualified teachers strive to establish constructive learning relationships.

We value the unique qualities of adolescent boys as they prepare to face the challenges of becoming good men, with a sense of belonging, pride, self-respect and a concern for others.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Welcome to our 69th year of educating boys. We look forward to having you as part of our learning community and working together to provide an environment that is ‘Best for boys’.

We have a number of building projects underway this year to cater for the growing needs of the College. In light of this, we have challenged and reminded ourselves that we are ‘More than Bricks’ in 2026!

Yes, these visible building structures are important, but our invisible strength is our school culture - our values and brotherhood. These are what make TBC a special place to stand and belong - our turangawaewae.

Andrew Turner, Principal
