There are more than 20 countries performing at the Games, including strong teams from New Zealand and Australia.
Liam Turner (17), a year 13 pupil who hails from a farm between Mossburn and Te Anau, went to the event last year when it was in Tahiti and gained three golds and a bronze last year.
Turner, who is coached by Mike Weddell, is ranked third nationally in the 800m and fourth in the 400m in the under-20 division, the two events in which he will compete in Suva.
For Anton Schroder, Cameron Miller and Nathan Hill, it is their first time with the New Zealand team.
Anton Schroder (17), a year 13 pupil, comes from Cromwell, and won under-20 javelin title at the national championship.
A lock for the school's first XV, he is coached by Raylene Bates.
He is ranked second nationally in the under-20 division in which he will compete in Suva.
Cameron Miller (17), a year 13 pupil, has had a busy season in which he claimed the New Zealand under-18 combined events (decathlon) title in February.
He is the top-ranked under-18 decathlete in the country and will line up in that event and age-group in Suva. Miller is coached by Brent Ward and Dave McNeil.
Nathan Hill (16), a year 12 pupil coached by Dave Stinson, had just finished a strong season in the under-18 1500m and 3000m. He broke the Otago-Southland secondary schools 1500m record and will line up in the middle-distance events in Suva.
The school is going through a good spell in its athletics programme and had 16 podium finishes from a team of 18 athletes at the South Island secondary school championships in Dunedin last month.
