Sir William Borlase School

The mission of Sir William Borlases Grammar School is to provide a stimulating learning environment for both students and faculty, enabling young people to realise their aspirations and ambitions while also fostering in them the self-confidence to influence not only their own futures but also the futures of those around them.
The school motto, chosen by those early scholars back in 1624, encapsulates our ideals today. Te Digna Sequere, which translates to "Follow things Worthy," is the guiding philosophy behind the school's unique ethos. It serves as a reminder to each of us that we should make decisions with a clear moral purpose, that we should regard each other as members of a supportive community, and that we all have the ability to use our unique abilities to improve Borlase and the world around us. Borlasians are active in their local communities and donate to charities on a local, national, and worldwide level. Every year, hundreds of students complete the Duke of Edinburgh Award, and each week, more than a hundred sixth-graders assist in teaching in nearby primary schools.
