HEAD BOY JAMES GUERIN

IT IS A HUGE HONOUR TO BE

named the Head Boy at Timaru Boys’ High School for 2022. I am eagerly anticipating the year ahead to learn, grow and prepare for the next chapters in my life.

I am from the Mackenzie Country and have grown up on a sheep and beef farm. I am extremely passionate about agriculture and animal health, wishing to pursue this next year by studying a Bachelor of Veterinary Science at Massey University.

It makes me proud to say that I have spent my high school years here at TBHS as well as in Thomas House, our boarding hostel. With a roll of 660 boys at school and 138 in the hostel, not only are we the largest school in South Canterbury but also one of the largest boys’ hostels in New Zealand. We have a great community here at TBHS which is rich in diversity, academia and sporting success, making us a school full of opportunities.

At Boys’ High, we take great pride in providing a high-quality education as well as five-star facilities, while maintaining the values that parents have already installed. I am extremely excited to work alongside my deputies, Pero Forman and Jacob Lyon as well as the amazing prefect team and passionate staff members who work hard to ensure boys are set up for life. The prefect team and I are looking forward to what the future holds and hope to make a positive impact on our school and our fellow students. Bring on 2022!
