Mangakino Spring Camp | The last few days of Term 3 saw 20 students head to Mangakino for our spring rowing camp. We had a bit of fog for a couple of mornings but some beautiful days were spent on the water. We welcomed Paul, our new head of rowing to the club, it was great to have him with us. Big thanks to our coaches and Amanda for the awesome 4 days away.

🌟 Wall of Fame Spotlight 🌟
Continuing our celebration of HPC’s sporting history, we highlight Richard Gibson.

Richard was involved in New Zealand Rowing during the late 1970s, a period highlighted by the 1978 World Rowing Championships hosted at Lake Karāpiro, one of the most significant international regattas ever held in New Zealand.

Competing in rowing at national level in 1978 reflects the high standard of performance and commitment required within New Zealand’s elite rowing environment, during a period when the sport held strong international standing. Richard’s involvement forms an important part of HPC’s sporting heritage.

We’d love to hear any memories, stories or connections to Richard, please share them in the comments below.

🌟 Wall of Fame Spotlight 🌟
Continuing our celebration of HPC’s sporting history, we highlight Alan Webster.
Alan was a talented rower who earned selection in the New Zealand Rowing Team in 1961, going on to represent his country throughout the 1960s.

He was a member of the New Zealand men’s eight that won a silver medal at the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Perth, a significant achievement on the international stage.

Alan also represented New Zealand at two Olympic Games, competing in the men’s eight at Tokyo 1964 and Mexico City 1968, where the crew finished an impressive fourth.

His success came during an era when rowing demanded immense dedication, with far fewer resources than today, making his achievements all the more notable.
We’d love to hear any memories, stories or connections to Alan, please share them in the comments below.
