Hamilton Boys' High School

The June 2022 High Achiever

Welcome to the June edition of the High Achiever.  It's been an incredibly busy, and at times challenging winter term, and we have much to celebrate as we head into the July school holidays.  We wish you all a safe and happy break with your whānau, and we look forward to seeing you back here next term.  

Kia pai ngā hararei

Kia pai hoki te whakangā

Do we have the full story?  We welcome suggestions and feedback to help make our coverage of our high achievers the best it can be.
