Hillcrest High School Rowing
There was a good turnout at the first 'have a go' day for new rowers on Saturday. There is a further opportunity this coming Saturday, 30th May, at 10am, at Hamilton Rowing Club, Grantham Street.
If you have a teen who attends HHS (or a year 8 who is starting at HHS in 2021), and is interested in rowing, come along and have a go. The school rowing team are looking for new members - novices, experienced rowers, and coxswains. Winter training is underway, with camps coming up. www.youtube.com...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
