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.
