Last Thursday evening, the HBHS Inline Hockey teams had their final matches, and the teams took out first place in both Division 1 and 2 of the Hamilton Secondary Schools League. The top team's victory over Fraser High was particularly satisfying, as HBHS had been runner-up in this competition for the previous five years.

HBHS Father/Son Breakfast, 2012

26th Jun 2012, 12:34pm

HBHS was proud to host the Waikato Chiefs at our recent Father/Son breakfast. The Master of Ceremonies, Brodi McCurran ensured that the event flowed smoothly, as Juan Robertson (Head Prefect) and Mrs Hassall welcomed hundreds of students, Old Boys, family members and role models. Solomone Tukuafu blessed the food, and Rawiri Kapa-Hakeney played a guitar solo ‘For my Father’ while his proud dad, Stuart Hakeney (Deputy Principal) looked on. Breakfast was served by the 1^st XV and Senior Prefects, while a further musical item was performed by Penisimani Fotu, Patrick Momisea, Ben Finau and Paula Tu-uholoaki.

Questions and answers for the Chiefs were fielded by Isaac Te Tamaki, and a vote of thanks was offered by Nigel Hotham (Deputy Principal) and Regan Ware. A number of autographs were collected as the breakfast continued, and many very happy young and more mature gentlemen were photographed before the morning was over.

We would like to thank Blakes High Company and Kerr and Ladbrook Catering for supporting this event.

HBHS Film and Television Students in Hog Heaven

21st Feb 2011, 8:46am

Students from HBHS’ Film and Television course spent last Friday and Saturday filming footage of the annual Harley Davidson Riders’ Convention in Raglan. Their teacher, Quentin West, comments on the weekend:

How many students were involved?

We had quite a few boys involved – some were stationed around Hamilton, one went up in an plane and got aerial shots, and a couple of students operated the jib arm (a camera stand several metres high) at the top of the Raglan Deviation. In total, just under twenty boys were out and about with cameras.

Different spots were used for different durations. The plane was hired for an hour and a half, and from that we got a full minute of really useful footage. When we put together a ‘teaser’ or preview package of two and a half minutes on Saturday night for the formal fairwells, there was plenty of laughing and appreciation for the efforts of the boys. It’s clear from this that the elements we’ve gathered will combine (with particular emphasis on the aerial footage) to make something good.

There was actually a gasp from the crowd when they saw the shots from the air – it made everyone realize that although the crew are teenagers, the quality of what they produce is really impressive.

HBHS Football Teams win three from three in Knockout Cup Matches

HBHS Football teams notched up a series of impressive wins in Knockout Cup action over the weekend. The HBHS 1st XI, pictured right, beat St Peter's Cambridge School 5 - 4, and the Year 10 Colts A thumped their St Peter's Colts counterparts 9 - 0. This is another impressive results for the HBHS Colts team who this season, have played 14 matches and won all 14. What is even more remarkable is that the team have scored 108 goals in the Waikato Secondary Schools competition and have not had a single goal scored against them. Finally, in a tightly contested local derby, the HBHS Senior Silver team narrowly beat the HBHS Senior Scarlet side 2 - 1. Thanks to Mr Stuart Hakeney for the team photos.
