AgriKids ready for action
By DAVID HILL
North Loburn School’s Karetu
Kids don’t have to look far for
inspiration ahead of tomorrow’s
(Friday, July 2) national AgriKids
final in Christchurch.
The school has had along
tradition in the annual AgriKids
competition’s 10 year history,
having competed in several
AgriKids finals including the
Gumboot Gang being national
runners­up at Feilding in 2017.
This year’s Karetu Kids team
comprises Regan Herlihy (12),
John Lundy (12) and Cate Ambury
(13), who are all competing for the
first time.
Regan’s older brother and
sister have competed in past
AgriKids competitions, while
John’s dad is apast Young
Farmers Club member, so there is
no shortage of advise for the team.
All three are rural kids, with
John hailing from asheep and
deer farm, Cate comes from a
lifestyle block with goats, while
Regan lives on afarm and his dad
is ashearer.
‘‘I think we are pretty well
covered because we have arange
of knowledge between us,’’ Cate
says.
The team has had afew morning
and after school sessions to help
them prepare and has been
making good use of the ‘‘hints’’
provided to the finalists last week
of the things they may be tested
on, John says.
‘‘We’ve thought about what the
hints might be telling us,’’ Cate
says.
‘‘And we’ve learnt about Young
Karetu Kids ... North Loburn School’s team of Regan Herlihy (12, left),
John Lundy (12) and Cate Ambury (13) is excited about competing in the
national AgriKids final tomorrow.

Farmers and where they came
from,’’ Ryan adds.
In the last few days before the
final the team was due to have a
session on ATVs in preparation
for the Honda module and
planned to brush up on their
general knowledge.
Being in the national final
means two days off school, with
teams participating in an opening
ceremony in Christchurch this
afternoon.
The AgriKids modules will be
held at New Zealand Young
Farmers’ headquarters at
Innovation Park in Templeton
tomorrow between 7.30am and
3.30pm, alongside the FMG Young
Farmer of the Year and Junior
Young Farmer practical
competitions.
Teams will compete in various
modules, arace and awritten test.
Karetu Kids will be lining up
against two teams from Waikari
School and 18 other teams from
around the country.
The AgriKids winners will be
announced at afunction in the
Christchurch Town Hall
tomorrow evening.
