Mountain Biking

We are thrilled to be entering teams in the Tamworth All-Schools Mountain Bike Event on Saturday, May 13th. This exciting event is a great opportunity for our students to showcase their mountain biking skills and have fun with their peers.

The event will be held at the Tamworth Mountain Bike Park and start with a safety briefing and warm-up session, followed by several races and challenges that will test participants' speed, endurance, and technical abilities.
