HBHS utterly dominant at North Island Secondary Schools Rowing Championships
It was a truly wonderful weekend of exceptional results for our rowing crews at Lake Karapiro, and as a school, HBHS was completely dominant. The rowing squad secured the top school award with two races in hand, and the crews brought back an impressive nine gold medals, one silver, and one bronze. Congratulation to all of these boys on their efforts and a heartfelt thank you to all of the coaches, parents, and supporters who put in countless hours so that our crews could perform so well. We take this opportunity to celebrate all that you have achieved together this year. Kia kaha to you all.
