The competition finished on Saturday when Otago Boys' High School won its third title in a row with a narrow 29-24 victory over Southland Boys' High School at Littlebourne.
Highlanders First XV competition committee chairman Craig Morton said he had already sent out survey forms to school principals seeking their thoughts on the competition.
He said the overwhelming feeling was for the competition to continue.
''It is all really positive. The feedback we have had is everyone wants to keep it at 14 teams.''
There had been concerns about mismatches between teams, with competition heavyweights such as Otago Boys' racking up some big scores.
''There is a worry out there about the mismatches and that will be addressed going forward, perhaps looking at the structure of the competition. But it happens in all school competitions, in Auckland, in Christchurch, even in Australia; you always get these mismatches.
''The thing is, we ask the lower-based schools in the bottom reaches of the table and they all want to play the big schools. And we can understand that. To get better, then you want to play the best.''
Morton said teams had to be better organised before coming into the season. Some already were and many schools were recognising this and putting rugby programmes in place to be prepared for the start of the competition.
Kavanagh College had pulled out of the competition just before it was to play its first game and Morton said that had a major impact on the first round of the competition, as it created a double bye in the northern section.
He said this would not occur again, as organisers would get firm commitments all teams were ready to play well before the season kicked off.
The competition was expanded this year to 14 teams, including Mt Aspiring College and another Southland school.
When Kavanagh dropped out, St Peter's College, in Gore, was included in the second round and ended up winning the bottom-six competition.
St Peter's will play Taieri College in Milton on Saturday for the 14th place in next year's competition.
Taieri College won the under-18 Dunedin metropolitan competition.
Morton said the schools had unanimously decided to play the 14th-place match at the end of this season rather than the start of next year.
Teams wanted certainty over what grade they would be playing in next season.
