The latest group from Hunterville School has started the 9th year of a sporting programme which brings a whole new dimension to sporting prowess.
The nine rural students, six girls and three boys, will spend a day a week with teacher Shane Smith going out and exploring a world of sporting endeavour.
Mr Smith started his Institute of Sport scheme in 1999 and it has run successfully every two years since.
This year, the nine students were chosen for their fitness, goal setting, food and nutrition, coaching, refereeing and also gives them a chance to try a few new sports.
Mr Smith said the successful students have been noted from the early days of their schooling.
