There has been a lot to celebrate in 2023, and celebrate we did!

The Senior Sports Awards were held in the School Hall on Wednesday the 18th of October, and all of the achievements of our senior athletes and teams were congratulated on their efforts this year. Thank you to the guest speaker, Olympic silver medalist and newly-appointed Director of Rowing at HBHS, Mr Caleb Shepherd, and a special thank you to Mrs Barbara Clark, Mr Murray McKenzie, and Mrs Susan Hassall for their immeasurable contribution to all that our sportsmen have achieved over their years of support and involvement. We also give thanks to all of the coaches, managers, supporters and whānau who have contributed to our wonderful year of sporting success in 2023.
