Episode Thirty three : HBHS - Old boys’ foundation

Reel Tails with Sweens - Podcast By Dwayne Sweeney

Episode Thirty Three :

This episode I sit down with three fellow Hamilton Boys’ High Old Boys’ foundation, Andrew Miller, Seamus Marten & Ali Lennan. With the goal of highlighting the importance of such foundations and how they strengthen communities.

We cover a range of topics including, why the foundation was formed, what support the foundation provides and share some Tails of our personal connections to each other and the school.

We also discuss the events run and how they have become a marquee event on many social calendars, how to support, some of the amazing achievements and accolades of former students and so much more.
