Children at Goldfields School will soon be able to bounce in style, thanks to a $20,000 donation of funds raised at the 2025 Bosty Bash black-tie fundraiser on June 28.
The fundraiser event, held by the Boston Rohrlach Memorial Trust at the Thames on Kirkwood, saw 100 people dressed their best to the theme of “elegant blue”.
The $20,000 raised at the event has been earmarked for a specially-designed in-ground wheelchair-capable trampoline for Goldfields School in Paeroa.

“I hope this whole incident will be one of those incidents where [the offender] will look back and say: ‘Oh, s**t, I’m never going to do this ever again’ and then he goes to live a good life.
“And I really hope,” Kamal says, “he’ll come back to me after 10 years and say: ‘Hey, you got me’.”

What started as an ordinary Monday turned into a midday chase when Kamal Singh, owner of SuperPrice Furniture in Thames, sprang into action after a customer had her handbag snatched just outside his store.

The “ultimate goal” for Hauraki Plains College band The Interns was to perform at Smokefree Rockquest.
Luckily for the four-piece indie rock band, they already achieved that dream twice in the span of a few weeks, and with a second chance video in the works – they aim to make it three times.

Brooklyn Jiang’s motivation to take initiative came from something he learned this year: “nothing will happen unless you do something about it”.
The Thames High School service and environment student leader for 2025 told The Profile he saw a lot of young people at his school who showed initiative in what they loved to do and was “inspired by them”.

A lot of boxes must be ticked before someone’s compositions can be included in the Trinity College London harp exam syllabus.
It requires the right key, time signature and use of technical, theoretical and musical skills appropriate to each grade level.
It also needs to be the right length, with clear and correct notation and must be easily available.
It’s part of what makes Anna Dunwoodie’s recent news so monumental.

The Norwood Road skatepark in Paeroa may not look like much at first glance, but it is far from forgotten.
Every week, the energy at the park intensifies, with the site quickly becoming the centre of a local skateboarding revival.
It’s thanks to Janik Levien and the crew behind Hauraki Skate, who want to grow the sport within the community – starting with free sessions and a mission to breathe life back into the slab they grew up skating on.

Since reopening its doors in late 2024, the Thames Youth Centre has been a hive of activity.
The Kirkwood St building underwent a renovation under the new board, after being closed for a year due to a lack of leadership. Now with a fresh coat of paint, new heat pumps, comfy sofas, a basketball hoop, and a wall-length mirror, the space is bright, airy, and perfect for youth-based activities. And it has seen a lot of use already.
