"Because they're being taught this in boxing, it passes down into their school work," Jones said.
William and Shaunessy are just two of 14 youngsters from the school taking part in the programme and they have already picked up a couple of wins.
The pair went to Ngaruawahia to a boxing tournament and won.
Jones said he was proud of the boys' efforts.
"When coach Aaron [Warren] first brought the programme to our school, I said to him if we could get one of our kids to win like an Oceania champion, I'd erect a small statute out the front of the school. I'd love to be able to do that, to help inspire other kids."
Supreme Performance coach Henare "Bomm" Tahuri said it might not be too long before the statue is erected.
"William is very focused and definitely listens. I noticed every time I'm with him on the focus pads, he actually executes everything I tell him. I talk to him about terminology and he's probably one of the easiest kids to understand it."
The Year 8 pupil shows no fear and always looks to go forward when he fights.
Tahuri, who has been coaching for about three years, said he was also impressed with Shaunessy.
"He does the hit and then moves. He uses the ring a lot more. He doesn't come forward as much - but he anticipates. He is one of those sort of boxers. He will stand there wait for the [punch] and then he throws."
Getting to watch kids like William and Shaunessy develop inspires the 36-year-old and the wider community of Kaingaroa.
"We had a lot of Kaingaroa and Murupara [supporters] at the last fight in Ngaruawahia and it felt like we were at home. It felt awesome to have that sort of support.
Tahuri said the programme, funded by First Sovereign Trust, had help a number of youngsters from around the region.
