TBHS —

These were held on Friday 1 November at the Southern Trust Events Centre in Morgans Road. It was a wonderful night that hosted 500 people celebrating the sporting achievements of the Mid Canterbury, South Canterbury and North Otago regions.

The guest speaker was Multi Sport and endurance athlete, Hollie Woodhouse who is an Old Girl of Craighead Diocesan School, while Timaru Boys' High School Old Boy Julian Blanchard was the Master of Ceremonies.

 It was a good night for Timaru Boys' across a range of sporting codes: George Guerin (Athletics), Tim Sheed (Hockey), Keaton Swindells (Inline Speed Skating), Bailey Booth (Rodeo), Billy McCully (Rowing), Lucas Mullings (Softball), Jack Sands (Swimming), George McAleer (Tennis), Jack Innes (Trapshooting) and Jonty Collins (Motocross) all won the Aoraki Future Champion Award for their sport. 

Brian Smith (TBHS Rowing Coach) was acknowledged in the Community and Staff Contribution to Sport category. 

The 1st XI Hockey side's outstanding season was acknowledged by winning both Team of the Year and (Ben Grant) Coach of the year. Liam Parker (Rowing, Rugby and Hockey) was named Male All Rounder of the year. 


Keaton Swindells, Tim Sheed and Jack Sands were three of the five finalists for the top award of Male Sportsperson of the year, with Keaton taking out the title. This is the third TBHS winner in a row, following Cullen Grace (Rugby) in 2017 and Riley Taylor (Swimming) in 2018. 

The breadth and depth of our sporting achievements is a credit to the boys and the school, community and parental support they receive.
