HEAD BOY BALKRISHNA UNIYAL

I AM ABSOLUTELY HUMBLED TO be named as the 2021 Timaru Boys’

High School Head Boy. I am looking forward to working with my deputies, Robbie Adams and Eul Jaan Su in leading the school and giving back to the exceptional community of Timaru Boys’.

I started my high school life as a shy little Year 9 but over the years, Timaru Boys’ High has had a positive impact on my growth and challenged me to step out of my comfort zone. Participating in various activities and sports has enabled me to gain leadership skills whilst making lifelong friends.

The rich traditions at TBHS have helped grow my passion for various sports including cricket and rugby. Throughout the school year many students have the opportunity to play in traditional school exchanges, including the Waitaki Exchange which is the longest continuous school exchange in New Zealand.

Our student motto for this year is ‘Never leave a door unopened’. We want to inspire students to try new things and ‘open new doors’ for themselves which in turn will create more opportunities.

As the student leadership team, we look forward to what lies ahead and hope to make a positive impact on our school.
