Whiz Kids on their bikes

Harri and Jacob recently teamed up to take on 60 teams of year 5/6 and 7/8 all racing together in the  Huxster Mountain Bike School Team Relay at McLeans Island.

They came 3rd in the Year 5/6 boys team relay!

This a great result for our two boys.


Some Year 6 students are going to play in a Rippa Rugby Tournament in Term 2. If successful locally they will play in the Canterbury Tournament.
