💛 In Memory of Mr Crosswell 💛

Mr Jimmy Crosswell was more than a teacher or hostel master at PNBHS — he was a passionate sportsman, husband, father, and role model who inspired so many.

After losing his life to leukaemia in 2017, one of his former students is honouring his memory by shaving his hair at College House — raising funds for Arohanui Hospice and the Manawatū Cancer Society.

“Mr Crosswell was a great man. The Cancer Society and Arohanui Hospice are great charities. I’m hoping together we can make a great contribution.”

We’re deeply grateful for this heartfelt tribute and invite you to show your support:

Chopping the dreads in memory of Mr Crosswell
