It was a pleasure to welcome back members of the Class of 1968 as they returned to support the 1st XV during last week's sports exchange against Hamilton Boys' High School.

A highlight of the day was presenting each of them with a Tiger Jacket. Many had generously surrendered their original jackets during the Tiger Jacket Amnesty years ago, helping preserve this proud tradition for future generations. It was fitting to recognise their contribution and present them once again with a special piece of school history.

As we toured the school, they shared stories from their time here, providing a wonderful reminder that while much has changed over the decades, the values and spirit of the school remain as strong as ever.

Thank you to Jim Glenn, Cliff Jackson, Alan Inman, Gordon Wright, and Larry O'Neill for returning to support our students and share your memories.

If you're an Old Boy interested in returning for a walk around the school and a trip down memory lane, we'd love to hear from you.

Join us for a special weekend as we welcome Old Boys back to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate the traditions that have shaped generations. From walking the grounds and sharing stories to coming together for the iconic Niger Cup Boarders’ Rugby Game - now in its 72nd year - this is a chance to relive the camaraderie, pride, and brotherhood that began in the hostel.

Whether you’re a hostel Old Boy or a former day student, this weekend is all about reconnecting, sharing a few stories, and celebrating the spirit of NPBHS.
