I had the pleasure of attending the C.A.C.T.U.S, (Combined Adolescent Challenge Training Unit and Support) on Saturday. What an amazing group of young people. They participate in a programme over 8 weeks. This is run jointly by William Colenso College and Maraenui Community Police. At the end of the programme the students participate in the longest day. This is a 36k challenge over 6 hours. They carry jerry cans filled with water, tractor tyres and telegraph poles. The resilience of these young people was outstanding. Also I would like to acknowledge the Police and everyone else involved in the programme
