Congratulations to PNBHS Mathematics teacher and Water Polo Coach Mr. James Ross, whose expertise and passion has been recognised by New Zealand Water Polo who have put him onto a high-performance coaching pathway as a part of his role as the New Zealand Youth Men’s team manager, offering him a place in High Performance Sport New Zealand's two-year Core Knowledge programme. The time that Mr. Ross has put into Water Polo at PNBHS and the support that he has provided the young men who are involved in the sport is immeasurable – this recognition by New Zealand Water Polo is incredibly well deserved.

Our student leaders have a message asking for those in our community who are able to, to support the aid agencies working to assist the millions of people - mainly women, children and the elderly - who have been forced from their homes by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The New Zealand Red Cross is one such agency.  Click here to find out more about their work to support Ukranian refugees and to make a donation.
