Dear Parents/Caregivers

Here at Hamilton Boys' High School we have a community of 37 students who are refugees from around the globe. All of them were born overseas, and all have experienced war, famine, natural disasters, terrorism, living in refugee camps and more. 

Many of these young men do not have bikes or bike helmets.  To assist these students with getting to and from school, we are asking for donations of unused or unwanted bikes and helmets.

If you would like to donate to our bike drive, please email me on nshah@hbhs.school.nz

Thank you
Ms Naaz Shah
HBHS Refugee Coordinator

HBHS Term Two Hair & Uniform Reminders

TERM 2 2021 BEGINS ON MONDAY 3 MAY

Personal Presentation

Hamilton Boys’ High School insists on high standards of personal presentation and we ask for your assistance with this. We ask all parents to attend to hair and uniform issues with their sons over the next few days, so they come back to school ready for work and prepared in their presentation. Jerseys, shirts, shorts, trousers and socks may need repair.

Boys need an appropriate hair cut to ensure their hair is short back and sides and of even length. Students whose hair is longer than regulation will incur a detention (see below for regulation details).

Socks - Boys’ socks need to be long enough to pull up to the knees. If socks do not reach the knees they need replacement. Garters should be purchased or made to assist with this. The School Shop provides free garters with the first pair of socks sold. Garters are also available for sale at $4 a pair.

Shoes - Must be black, leather, lace-up, clean and shining. If sandals are worn, they must be the standard black or brown Roman style and must be in good repair. 

Jackets - If your son chooses to wear a jacket, it must be the official school jacket.

Lost Property - This is held in the Student Services Centre. Lost property will only be held for four weeks. Please make sure all clothing is labelled to make it easy to return to your son.  The person in charge is Mrs Margaret Clark Tel: 853 0440 mclark@hbhs.school.nz

Labels - Naming Uniform – we ask parents to name all school uniform. Shoes can be labelled as well. Two label companies are listed for iron-on or stitch labels:

1. Logo Express, Centreplace ph 838 3688  
2. www.Nameit.co.nz for online ordering

Hair - Is to be short, neat and tidy, of even length, following the natural hairline above the collar, ears and eyebrows. Hair must not be braided, dyed, waxed, straightened, nor be tied, spiked, or cut with ridges. All students are to be clean-shaven.

For further clarification of our uniform and hair rules, please refer to your son's School Diary (pg 131).

Thank you for your assistance and for checking your son when he leaves for school and returns home each school day.

Kind regards,

To our HBHS whanau,

We hope you enjoy our Term 1 High Achiever, our newsletter that celebrates all of the accomplishments of our HBHS high achievers. 

It was a real joy to compile a newsletter packed to the brim with events and achievements and we thank everyone who contributed to our publication.  You will note an additional publication attached to this message, and we hope you enjoy our fabulous new A3 feature from our archivist, Ms Lynette Burroughs, that now comes as an insert when you order your print copy at the beginning of next term. 

Our front cover will profile our Condor Sevens team and their record eighth National title win, along with our National Champion Junior Futsal team. 

Have a safe and relaxing holiday break, and we look forward to seeing you all again in Term 2.
