Another inductee has been added to the inaugural CHB College Hall of Honour commemorating former students who have been recognised nationally for their achievements, or have represented New Zealand on the world stage in their chosen fields.
Senior Constable Leonard Snee, from Takapau and of Ngati Kahungungu descent, is the fifth of six people to be inducted this year.
School principal Lance Christiansen says Mr Snee gave 33 years of outstanding service as a New Zealand police officer including 23 years as a member of the Armed Offenders Squad.
His years of service were tragically cut short in the line of duty when he was slain during the siege on Napier Hill in May 2009.
He was described as a man of few words who let his actions do the talking.
