A year 13 school student has been airlifted by rescue helicopter out of the Hopkins Valley in Canterbury after he suffered a medical event during a four day class hiking trip.
The male student was tonight airlifted from a tramping hut in Ruataniwha Conservation Park in the Mackenzie Basin after a personal locator beacon was activated at 7.30pm by a group of 30 students and four staff.
