1. Lindisfarne College won the supreme "Toughest School" title for the second consecutive year at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Tough Guy and Gal Challenge in Rotorua. The six students entered, Lachlan Cairns, William Little, Ronan Lee (12km), and James Buckeridge, Harry Mowat, and Todd Douglas (6km) dominated the extremely muddy conditions at the Hell's Gate course. In a field of 800-plus students across the two distances, it was vital to get to the front early to avoid congestion. Leading from the front, Cairns and Little placed first and second respectively with identical times in the 12km senior division, while Lee finished second in the junior division for the same distance. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503462&objectid=11704419

5. Ball handling skills gleaned from playing netball have benefited Regan Wilson's rugby career. Wilson, of Winton, and his family will have a proud moment when he plays for the New Zealand Maori under-18 team against Bay of Plenty under-19 in Rotorua on September 25. It is the curtain raiser to the NPC game between Auckland and Bay of Plenty. "I'm really stoked to make the team," the Central Southland College student said. From age 5 to 13 Wilson played netball. The 18-year-old has been in the college's First XV for four years, playing at wing or fullback.
