Gateway - Land Based Training (LBT) Agriculture Competition

On a wet Thursday morning a team of 8 students, captained by Ben Wood, left PNBHS to compete in the Land Based Training (LBT) Agriculture Competition.  The competition was held at Otiwhiti Station approx.. 7km from Hunterville and consisted of eight agricultural based tasks such as quad bike riding, fencing and shooting.  The team consistently performed well in all tasks and were especially outstanding in the cooking task where they produced pikelets that scored a maximum score of 20 out of 20.  Such was the overall strength of the team that they were placed first and were able to bring home the LBT Agricultural Shield.

The team consisted of Ben Wood (Captain), Clay Simpson-Smith, Jesse Gunn, Luke Perry, Ryan Codlin, Ben McAlly, Harry Newman and Jack Sturmey.
