The Landing Window

Designed by the late Mr. Dave Waugh A Depiction of the Hastings Boys’ High School Crest

The Landing Stained Glass Window is one of the most distinctive artistic features of Hastings Boys’ High School. Prominently positioned within the Crist Block, the window serves not only as a striking piece of craftsmanship but also as a powerful visual expression of the school’s values, culture, and identity. Designed by the late Mr. Dave Waugh—an accomplished artist and dedicated staff member from 1981 to 2012—the window stands as a lasting tribute to his creativity, service, and connection to the school community.

The stained glass window presents a vivid and intricate depiction of the Hastings Boys’ High School crest. Through skillful use of colour, light, and form, the elements of the crest are transformed into a dynamic tapestry that captures both the heritage and the spirit of the school. As natural light filters through the glass, the design comes alive, creating a sense of depth and inspiring reflection for all who pass by.

This window is destined to become a significant and enduring feature of the school’s visual landscape. For students and staff alike, it represents not only the school crest but also a meaningful link to the values, history, and community of Hastings Boys’ High School. The project stands as a testament to the artistry of Mr. Waugh and to the collaborative efforts of the school’s Technology Department and Graham Holland of Leaded Light Solutions Ltd. Together, their work ensures that this remarkable installation will continue to inspire and enrich future generations.
