Months of dedication and commitment for Pāterangi School student Hollie Larsen (10) and her kid Lucky paid off with success at Group day and the Waikato A & P Show.

The pair were Champion Most Obvious Pet and Reserve Rearing at group day.

They went on to compete at the Waikato A&P Show and won Champion Goat Most Obvious Pet — Calling from the field of 57.

Hollie and Lucky then took out the top award Champion Goat Child Effort — achieved by performing the best calling and leading of her goat from all competitors.

It is the inaugural year of the award and has been won by Pāterangi. Hollie's parents say it's a huge achievement that has made her parents, school and community proud.

Pirongia School hosted the Mt Pirongia Group Day, welcoming Paterangi and Ngutunui.
