State funding covers the basics. HBHS Old Boys' Foundation fundraises the rest. We foster connection between Old Boys and the School that helped shape us, securing opportunities for future generations so Hamilton Boys' continues to prosper.
Scholarships
Annual Trade & Tertiary scholarships for deserving Year 13 students embarking on their next chapter.
Events
Golf days, charity luncheons, Old Boys evenings – where deals get done, and friendships pick up mid-sentence.
Community
Reunions, regional exchanges and keeping every generation of old boys connected to the school and each other.
Hall of Fame
Honouring outstanding alumni in sport, business, law and public life – inspiring our next generation.
SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION
