Hamilton Boys' High School

The July August 2022 High Achiever

To our HBHS whānau,

Welcome to the July August edition of the High Achiever.  It's been a busy, success-filled winter term, with achievements happening across academic, cultural and sporting arenas.  We celebrate our Winter Tournament Week teams and athletes, our Old Boys and their medal triumphs at the recent Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and we wish our 1st XV Rugby team all the very best as they head to the Top 4 competition at the end of this week.  We hope you enjoy our coverage of our high achievers and welcome your feedback and suggestions.

Do we have the full story?  Contact wmoffitt@hbhs.school.nz with story ideas to help make our coverage the best it can be.
