2005 Old Boy Reunion


The 2005 Old Boys evening at Orlando Country was a fabulous night. Parents and Staff were all so proud of the young men that we had turned out! It was amazing hearing what the boys from that year group have planned to do. Some were going to be lawyers, one a airline pilot, one already a private in the army, a number going to Lincoln, two going to prep schools in England, several to Cantabury, one going to be a broadcaster, another with a building apprenticeship, one doing a PE degree at Otago, one an arts degree at vic the list just went on and on.

It certainly was an evening to remember and as a Headmaster they were a fantastic example of why you send your sons to Huntley.

Junior Shemozzle: Werthmuller’s keep it in the family

Ben and Hunter Werthmuller fought it out for first place in the Hunterville Junior Shemozzle on Saturday. Ben had won the 2008 and 2009 Shemozzle but it was his younger brother Hunter who took the honours on the day. “I was rapt for Hunter,” Ben said. “The best man won on the day and if I had to lose to someone who better than my own brother!” Ben and Hunter were also running for the Huntley School Team on the day and the third place getter was Jack Kinder, also from Huntley. “We have always supported the Shemozzle as sponsors but due to other sporting clashes we have never been in a position to enter a team. It was quite exciting to see the boys win it on their first attempt,” said Headmaster Brad Gay. The boys will want to give it another go next year and defend their title.






As a school we have been focusing more on multi sport events such as triathlons, duathlons and cycling. This year we entered the National Road Cycling Championships for the second time and managed a creditable 5th in New Zealand. Multi sport is another option for the boys who can do it alongside their current winter and summer sports. The Shemozzle is a fun event but the boys certainly give it their all. Hunter can’t wait to try his new Giant mountain bike on the Huntley School bike track. No doubt Ben will be on hand to take photos with the new camera he won!
