Waka Ama at HBHS

Waka Ama is a relatively new sport at HBHS, but judging by the performance of the Under 16 team at the recent ActivePost New Zealand Secondary Schools' Waka Ama Championships held in Rotorua, it is one with a very promising future. The crew, pictured at right with their silver medals in the 500m event, were less than a second behind the winning team at the regatta, where a record number of teams competed during summer tournament week. Congratulations to the crew of Rawiri Southon, Te Waikaiti Southon, Te Rangi McGrath, Nicholas Symons, Te Tawhana Bramley and Jayden Hokianga. and the coach Mr Paul McGrath.
