Hastings Boys' High School is a boys' secondary school in Hastings, New Zealand. The school is part of the Super 8. The school was founded in 1909 as Hastings High School. Fifty years later, it split into Hastings Girls' School and Hastings Boys' School. It has four Houses, Te Mata (red), Heretaunga (blue), Te Kahu (grey) and Mana Huia (black). These houses compete in many sporting events with each other throughout the year.
Students at Hastings Boys' High School organised a conference in 1999 to consider cloning the Huia, their school emblem.[1][2] The Maori tribe Ngati Huia agreed, in principle, to support the endeavour, which would be carried out at the University of Otago, and a California-based Internet start-up volunteered $100,000 of funding.[3] However, as of 2008, the cloning has not taken place.
