Recently we had 4 students participate in the Canterbury Primary Schools' Duathlon at Ruapuna. They achieved commendable results over the challenging 3 km run and 6 - 9km bike. Notable achievements were in the 11 yr old boys' race of 141 competitors - Jacob finished 7th and Harri 12th!

These same 2 boys competed in a new 6 hour endurance bike ride in Ashburton yesterday.

Harri and Jacob along with their rugby team mate Dominic Pulley from Ashley School. (Dom got 5th at the Duathlon).  won the Mid-Canterbury Mountain bike 6 hour Inter-School Challenge. It is the first time they have had a school team class at the event and 
" Fernside School" will be the first school to have its name on the trophy!       6 HOURS!
Each team member did a 10km loop with all 3 of them completing 4 laps each
(40km) over the 6 hour time frame. Their team completed 12 laps as they came
in with 30 seconds to spare! All the other year 7-8 teams did 11 laps!!
What an awesome effort - very proud MUMs on Mothers'Day!
