Western District Interschool Equestrian Competition

Congratulations to all our riders who participated in the Western District Interschool Equestrian Competition on the 11th May 2019. There were some fantastic results from all of our students from both Junior and Senior School. The overall individual champion was an equal placing between Sophie Paton and Indeya Talay, equal 4th place went to Chloe Laidlaw and Jorjia Farrugia. The Hamilton & Alexandra College placed first overall and the winning team was made up of Sophie Paton, Jorjia Farrugia, Chloe Laidlaw, Indeya Talay and Zara Smith. Congratulations once again to all our riders.

Thank you to everyone who helped throughout the day, beforehand in preparation and afterwards in the packing up of this event. The kindness of all these volunteers from our College community and students made the day as successful as it was.

We look forward to another successful event in 2020!
