A Modern, Connected Platform for a Leading Christchurch Secondary School
Shirley Boys’ High School is one of Christchurch’s most well-known secondary schools, with a proud tradition of developing young men of character and achievement. Their new website was designed to reflect this legacy while creating a dynamic online hub for students, parents, and the wider community.
Purpose-Driven Design
We wanted the site to do more than look good — it needed to support communication, engagement, and school spirit. The design captures the school’s strong identity while providing a clean, intuitive layout that makes key information easy to find, from enrolments and events to academic pathways and sports achievements.
Key Features
Full integration with HAIL, the school’s communications and CRM platform — ensuring seamless publication of news, newsletters, and updates directly from staff.
Mobile-first design so families can stay connected on any device.
Fast loading speeds and optimised structure for search engine visibility.
Easy content management, allowing school staff to update pages and posts without technical knowledge.
Focus on accessibility, ensuring the website is welcoming and usable for everyone.
The Result
The new Shirley Boys’ High School website brings the school’s culture and community online in a way that’s modern, informative, and distinctly SBHS. It’s more than a website — it’s a digital reflection of what it means to be a Shirley Boy.
