On Tuesday 23 June 5 Ōtaki College students took part in the Ōtaki Inter-schools Football Festival.  This annual event is hosted by Te Horo School and the cup is hotly contested.

Ashleigh Stevenson, Moihi Hakaraia, Cameron La Frentz, Chris Hawley-Stone and Fergus Roy volunteered their time to referee games.

Ashleigh Stevenson said the day was pretty full-on reffing multiple games but an awesome experience for all involved.
