Kia ora Hillcrest Alumni,
We’re excited to share the latest episode of Beyond the Bell — Hillcrest High School’s official podcast that brings our stories, people, and legacy to life.
🎙️ New Episode – “10 Years On: The Class of 2015”
In this episode, we catch up with two familiar faces from the Class of 2015, former Deputy Head Girl Kristina Emson and former Manukura Wiri Nikora as they reflect on the past decade.
From study and career to travel and personal growth, they share the role Hillcrest played in shaping their journeys and offer honest, inspiring advice for students navigating life after school.

🔜 Coming Soon – “From Chalkboards to Chromebooks: The Hillcrest Story”
Our next alumni-focused episode will feature Sue Radford, a treasured staff member who served our kura for nearly 50 years, and former student now Dean Josh Groom. Together, they’ll reflect on how Hillcrest has evolved, what we’ve held on to, and the people who made it all matter.
This episode is a celebration of legacy, change, and community and one not to be missed.
We’d love to have more alumni voices involved in future episodes. If you’d like to share your story or nominate someone we should connect with, feel free to get in touch.
