Hillcrest alumni launch Fund for their school

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Hillcrest High School - Te Kura Tuarua o Tihipuke is well known for producing such artistic graduates, reflecting its holistic approach to education, which encourages students to try things out and become successful all-rounders.
