HBHS' wrestling team travelled to Dilworth School to compete in the 2012 Auckland Secondary Schools Wrestling Championships on Tuesday, 13 March 2012.  The team of 19 included ten novices who were competing in their very first tournament.  In a long day of spirited competition, which started with Teo Pouri-Lane competing in the first match of the day and Matiu Pouri-Lane competing in the final match of the tournament, HBHS walked away with 14 medals (including 6 Gold, 5 Silver and 3 Bronze).

Outstanding performers included novice wrestlers Wade McLean-Te Huia, Gold medallist in the Senior 120 kg class and Kendall Heke who pushed a 2012 Oceania Champion medallist hard, before succumbing in the final of the Senior 85 kg class to take Silver. Overall our wrestlers performed well on the mat and this was reflected in the team’s results with HBHS placing first and earning the title of Champion School at the 2012 Auckland Secondary School Wrestling Championships.

It's the time of year where HBHS honours students who have achieved at the highest levels in academic, cultural and sporting pursuits, as the first of the 2013 Awards Evenings gets underway tonight.  The Maori and Pasifika Awards Evening is on tonight at 6pm, in the School Hall, and recognises outstanding achievements by Maori and Pasifika students in all fields at HBHS.  The evening also features performances by the school Kapa Haka group, the Maori Performing Arts class and the Pasifika group, along with other artists and speakers.  On Thursday 24 October it is the Music and Arts Awards Evening, at 6pm in the School Hall, honouring outstanding achievements and accomplishments in all cultural pursuits at HBHS.  Finally, on Wednesday 30 October at 6pm in the School Hall it is the Sports Awards Evening, where the competition for the top team and individual athletes will be the tightest it has been in many years.  We warmly invite all of our HBHS parents and families to celebrate the achievements of our students and look forward to seeing everyone there.

It was a successful weekend on the road for the top three HBHS rugby teams this past weekend, with all three teams scoring bonus point wins.  The HBHS 1st XV beat the previously unbeaten Napier Boys' High School 1st XV 34 - 10, and the 2nd XV scored a 24 - 7 victory over the Napier Boys' High School 2nd XV.  The 3rd XV (pictured right, on the attack) continued on their winning way, beating the St Paul's Collegiate 2nd XV 33 - 7.  The 1st and 2nd XV are on the road again this weekend, playing Tauranga Boys' College in Tauranga, and the 3rd XV face Tokoroa High School 1st XV in Hamilton.
