Enrolment Process
Enrolments for 2025 and 2026 (day students) are now open and welcome.
Currently Otago Boys’ High School does not have a zone. This means students living in any area of Dunedin, or further afield, can attend our school.
Otago Boys’ High School invites students to complete the online enrolment form and submit it to the school.
Day Boys
2026 Year 9 Day boy enrolments close on Friday 22 August 2025.
Enrolment Form – Online (preferred method)
Following receipt of the enrolment form families are contacted and invited to meet with the Rector. This is an opportune time to discuss subjects, uniform, co-curricular activities and your son’s interests. Tours of the school are also offered.
If a printed enrolment form is required copies can be obtained from the school office.
