Four former Central Hawke’s Bay College students were inducted into the College’s Hall of Honour at a special ceremony last Thursday.
Two of the inductees – military historian Patrick Bronte, and Robert Taylor, a member of top New Zealand band Dragon – were named as inductees in 2021 and 2022 respectively, however COVID restrictions meant a ceremony couldn’t be held.
One of the first inductees in 2016 – top diplomat Chris Seed, who is now the Chief Executive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – was also welcomed back on Thursday as he was unable to attend at the time.
The latest inductee is agricultural researcher Richard Hunter.
