Success for Boys - Tama tū, tama ora

Kia ora, kia orana, fakaalofa lahi atu, taloha ni, talofa lava, malo e lelei, bula vinaka, and welcome.

Most boys are doing well at school. At the same time, a significant number are disengaged or not achieving to their potential. Success for Boys is about taking steps to ensure all boys are engaged and achieving in their learning.

The Ministry of Education is focused on lifting the engagement and achievement of all young people. To this end, the Ministry is supporting schools to identify successful strategies and share good practice about engaging boys in learning.

This website is intended to help you create opportunities for all boys at your school to succeed, building on what you’re already doing to meet this goal.
