A girl has been rushed to hospital after an incident at a Southland school.
Emergency services were called to rural Thornbury School just after 3pm today after reports of a trapped and injured child.
St John spokesman Gerard Campbell said before 4pm they were transporting a male patient to Southland Hospital with moderate injuries.
A staff member at the school declined to comment when contacted by the Otago Daily Times.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the injured pupil was a boy.
