David Tua visits HBHS

HBHS had the honour of hosting boxer David Tua today, ahead of his title fight in Hamilton at Claudelands Arena on August 31.  David (seen right, being welcomed to the school by Headmaster Mrs Susan Hassall), spent nearly two hours at our school, taking questions from students, and giving some pointers to lucky HBHS boxers.  When asked what he felt was his most satisfying moment in his career, David told the packed gym that it was winning the fight that allowed him to pay off his parent's home.  He was then welcomed into the small gym by the Pasifika Tutor Group, who sang him a traditional Samoan song, before getting to spend some time with the boxer as he was interviewed by Television New Zealand and The Crowd Goes Wild's James McOnie.  For a special report on this visit, check out the Term Two edition of the High Achiever.  We will feature more photos of this visit in upcoming posts and publications.
