The Fiji Rugby Union has established a High Performance Gymnasium at the school's Rugby Academy which is also used by the Tailevu Rugby Union, Naitasiri and Rewa Rugby Unions. School Battle Cry The school battle cry is Feed the Bulbul. This slogan is unique to Lelean Memorial School. It was coined in the late 1940s to the early 1950s and has been around since then. As boarders in Lelean in the 1950s, students always foraged for food in their free time. This search for food included eeling (hunting for eels), catching prawns, fishing, diving for fresh water mussels (kai), mongoose trapping, hunting chickens that strayed onto the school compound, trapping bulbuls (pycnonotus jocosus fuscicaudatus), and hunting bats. The junior boys in particular were the ones who always venturesome in trapping bulbuls. In setting the trap, this group would close all the dining hall windows and doors, except for the door facing the double storey dormitories. These dorms are now part of the Rugby Academy and Technical Drawing facilities. To lure in the bulbul, food crumbs would be spread out from just outside the open door to the middle of the dining hall. The group would then go and lie in wait from a nearby vantage point. When the agreed signal was given by the hunt leader, the group would then rush in and lock themselves in the Dining Hall with the trapped birds. The birds were then hunted down for the kill, with balled-up towels used as missiles. It became a game sport for young Lelean boarders but the kill was also destined for the pot. The derivation of “Feed the Bulbul” is from this foraging sport. In rugby, the Lelean students would practice set moves, on the basis of luring in an opponent into a trap upon which bodies were launched much like 'human torpedoes' with deadly accuracy against opposing teams. The code word for these moves was “Feed the Bulbul”. Feed the Bulbul evolved from a rugby code to become the school battle cry, especially in full-contact sports such as Rugby Union and Rugby league.
