The House System
The house system was established in 2004. The houses and associated colours are:

Aoraki (Blue)
Blake (Green)
Mullins (Red)
Rutherford (Black)
Snell (Gold).

These names were chosen from famous New Zealanders who have excelled in areas that we expect graduates from Shirley Boys' High School to excel in. Areas such as leadership, physical endeavour, academic ability, cultural and environmental awareness and leadership.

Upon entry to the school, boys will be allocated a House. Each boy will be expected to purchase a House shirt through the Student Office. Each boy within his vertical form class will belong to the same House group. This again helps provide an 'esprit de corps' amongst the boys.
Every student at Shirley Boys' High School will be encouraged to participate in as many House events as possible to ensure that healthy competition based on ownership of their House occurs.
