New look, new gear at Maadi Cup 2025. Best of luck to our rowers this week, taking the challenge north.

Ari Keshariya, National U18 Men Triple Jump Champion! Another title to go with your U18 Men High Jump crown this weekend at the NZ Track and Field Championships in Dunedin. An awesome achievement. We can't wait to see what you can produce when you travel to California in April with the NZ Secondary Schools' Athletics Team.

Friday fun and frivolity at Burnside High during lunchtime today.

Glorious three days at Aoraki / Mt Cook for our Y12 Geography students.

This hands-on experience was designed to enhance students’ knowledge of glacial processes, mountain ecosystems, and the effects of human activity in high-altitude environments.

Throughout the trip, students engaged in thought-provoking discussions on the use of 1080 for pest control, explored renowned tracks such as the Ho**er Valley and Blue Lakes walks, and took to the skies with Inflite Skiplanes’ Tasman Taster flights.

The students also examined local hydroelectric and aquaculture projects, assessed the impacts of tourism, and gained valuable insights into waste and water management strategies within the national park.

Massive congratulations to Ari Keshariya, crowned U18 Male High Jump Champion at the NZ Track and Field competition in Dunedin this morning. Next up the U18 Male Triple Jump on Saturday. Best of luck Ari.

Ben Lough, you are the champion! South Island Secondary Schools' Triathlon U16 Male winner. Backing up from your Canterbury title in the same event two weeks ago. A 300m swim, 12k cycle and 2.5k run. Massive congratulations. We can't wait to see what you can do at the NZ comp later this month.

Alex Gibson is on Top of the World! His dedication to musical excellence, countless hours of practice, and unwavering commitment to his craft have culminated in a remarkable achievement - Top in the World for Cambridge IGCSE Music.

A member of Burnside High School's Specialist Music Programme, Alex is a great example of what is possible when natural talent is matched
by relentless energy and a flawless work ethic.

We are incredibly proud of Alex and look forward to following his continued success.

Simply outstanding. Congratulations Ysabella Ho, New Zealand's Top Subject Scholar (Statistics), Scholarship Award recipient and six scholarships overall. University of Canterbury Engineering is lucky to have you!

How good, Cricket's back at Burnside High School!

Our Year 9/10 Boys Cricket team are playing an inter-schools game against a Cashmere Year 9/10 Boys team today on the top field.

A big thank you to Barry McKenzie (Facilities Manager) and Steve Cable (Groundsman) for preparing the wicket. Great to see the block back in action and playing well.
