The next two inductees to the PNBHS Sports Hall of Fame were both in Gordon club. The first of the two won a scholarship to university in the United States and later turned professional in his chosen sport; later, he was named New Zealand Sportsman of the Year. The second competed at two Olympic Games and later selected an Olympic Games team that won a gold medal. His name can be found at sports grounds in Palmerston North and outside of his main sport he played another sport at first class level.


We would like to extend a warm invitation to our parent community and friends of PNBHS to join us at our inaugural Celebration of Sport, Sportman’s Dinner to be held at the Silks Lounge, Awapuni Racecourse, Palmerston North on Friday 8 November. The evening will start at 6.00pm with a drinks' hour, followed by a three-course dinner at 7.00pm.

This is our inaugural Sports Hall of Fame gala dinner, to recognise several of our outstanding Old Boys’ who have excelled in the sporting arena. We plan to add further recipients each year, but there will only be one gala dinner.

This will be a fun night with PNBHS Old Boy Hamish McKay as Master of Ceremonies. Hamish will also be hosting a ‘Sports Cafe Question and Answer’ session during the evening. There will be no fundraising activities, we want this to simply be an enjoyable evening where we get together to recognise our sporting greats. Please contact Mrs. Rachel Wenham (wenhamr@pnbhs.school.nz or 027 442 3285) for further details.
