Old Boys
Members of the Executive of the Association meet monthly and Old Boys are involved at a regional level around New Zealand, with growing groups in many locations overseas.
Famous Old Boys include such eminent New Zealanders as Nobel Laureate Lord Ernest Rutherford and New Zealand Prime Ministers Sir Wallace Rowling and Sir Geoffrey Palmer. Former students have gone on to be leaders in education, business, academia, science, the church, performing arts and the military service, represent New Zealand in sport and other pursuits, and in several cases to represent other countries in their chosen fields.
The Bulletin magazine is published annually and a copy is sent to all current members of the Association. Many of you look forward to this publication which provides an eclectic mix of stories from throughout the year featuring Old Boys. The magazine also keeps you up-to-date with current happenings from the Association, College highlights, messages from the Association's President and the Nelson College Headmaster as well as a full list of obituaries. If you have any stories which you would like to share, updates on planned reunions or events, we encourage you to make contact with Gina at the NCOBA.

Welcome to the new look Old Boys' section of the Nelson College website. As President of the Nelson College Old Boys' Association I welcome you and encourage you to keep in touch with your alma mater.
The college maintains a strong spirit and a crucial part of its continued growth and success is to retain links with you, our Old Boys. This website will be a fabulous resource for keeping in touch and we are currently looking at Facebook as a modern way of moving forward with our younger Old Boys. Nelson College Old Boys range in age from 103 to 17 and we all take away memories of our time here, whenever that may have been. For the majority of us they are fond memories of camaraderie and fun with friends, the school song and haka, music, Mataki and so much more.
I look forward to maintaining the strong ties that the College and Nelson College Old Boys enjoy and the continued growth of our Old Boys network both locally and overseas.
