TBHS ANZAC Service

He spoke to the boys on the value of comradeship during times of conflict and reflected on the passing of those who never returned.  (read more)

TBHS Athletics Sports

Jonathon Lord, the current NZ Schools track walking champion lapped the entire field of over 200 walkers in his 1500m power walk of 6min 01.1sec. Lord captured the race walking record of 6min 14sec from his brother Daniel which was set three years ago. This was an outstanding walk performance.

Brad Lang won the senior sprint treble - 100m/200m and 400m. Tongan twins Talau and Amato Fakatava created an impact with sprint and high jump victories. Both young men are exciting new talents. Tom Cooper (right - gold top) also won a treble - backing up his strong throwing performance with a good win in the long jump. (read more)

House points are gained for participation and results, which ensures a colourful and vocal afternoon at the school pool every February.This year was warm but overcast which kept all involved from overheating. The newly painted pool looked magnificent and was considerably warmer than other years. Performances in the pool were arguably the best ever with seven individual records broken. (read more)
