All boys are expected to play at least one team sport. A great selection of clubs and activities are offered by the school.

Opportunities for social mixing are provided with the girls of New Plymouth Girls' High School in the form of dances, barbecues and dinners.

Religion plays a significant part in the life of the school. Hostel boys in Years 9 and 10 attend 'Scripture' one evening a week with different youth groups and all students up to year 11 attend church on Sunday.
