Seven students from South Makirikiri School will travel to Invercargill to compete with the best in the AgriKidsNZ grand final.
The school in Marton sent two teams to the Taranaki/Manawatu AgriKidsNZ regional final in Wellington in February and they placed second and third to qualify.
Attending the grand final on July 6 will be special for Hayley Grant as her daughter Abbey will be competing in what is sure to be a hotly-contested event.
"I have five children and they've all competed at either regional or national AgriKidsNZ finals, Abbey is the last," Grant said.
"She's only in Year 7 and is thrilled to finally be having a go."
