This page has been created to keep players, parents, coaches and supporters up-to-date with activity within the SBHS Rugby Club. Originally built for a maximum of 600 students, our current roll is 1350 students with over 100 teaching and support staff. Students come from more than 30 contributing schools. The school has a proud tradition of excellence in the academic, sporting and cultural areas. Students are encouraged to work hard, to enjoy their studies and to be involved in one or more of the many sporting and cultural groups in the school. Although it is a boys' school, Shirley Boys' High School is willing to accept girls into its programme for overseas students. The school is located in the city of Christchurch on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Our school library is of a very high standard. We are at the forefront in developments in the area of information technology. Our science laboratories are modern and well resourced and all students have access to the advanced computing and video facilities in the school. Our workshops and art rooms are fully equipped and a keyboard laboratory is a feature of our music department. Our modern sports facilities include two gymnasia, a separate weights room, well maintained sports fields, squash and tennis courts
