Revamping the 1st XV Changing Rooms under the Grandstand

Bruce Hemara has a vision to make the 1st XV Changing rooms a place of strength and spirituality for the team on match days.
   Grandstand Changing Rooms  by Rachel Wenham

Bruce has started this project by cleaning out and opening up the changing rooms creating a space the 1st XV can prepare for their matches then before taking the field gather and take strength from those players that have played before them.

The photos show the artwork created for the pre game room and the blessing that took place of both the changing room and this room.

Bruce would like to finish this project off ,if any past 1st XV members would like to contribute to this project please get in touch: wenhamr@pnbhs.school.nz
