PANUI – UPDATE:

Tēnā koutou ngā tama tawhito o Hato Pāora,

BACKGROUND:

In the past decade, there have been many requests from old boys wanting to attend Reunions back at the Kura.  According to research about Boarding School Reunion Events, they are far more attractive to Alumni if reunions are well organised and celebrated among their associates (year groups).

Please Note: School Gala Day is Old Boys Day also. We encourage all old boys young and old to attend. However, registration this round is only for Classes of ’49 ’59 ’69 ’79 ’89 ’99 and ’09 because 2019 next year, will be their Anniversary year. Then the following year 2020, it will be the same, anniversaries for Classes of ’1950 up-to ’2010 and so forth.

A standard reunion registration including programme and cost has already been developed to help the HPC-OBA manage this process effectively. For this kaupapa to be successful, we need old boys who are from Classes of ’49 up-to ‘09 to now register. The year group you are to register with, is your 3rd form year group you were enrolled with when you first attended the College. For example, I started my 3rd form at the Kura back in 1982, so that makes me Class of ’82. Brothers who had joined our particular year group the follow year or years after, are encouraged to register with our same year group (Class of ’82).

If you are still needing further clarification about this, please call me 027-2433561.

 

All Reunion events below have been scheduled annually to be held every School Gala Day. Registration also includes former School/Hostel Staff and Trust Board/BOT Members if they wish to participate, see further details below how to register.
