A team of 75 students from grades 3-6 represented our school at the Division Cross Country event last Wednesday. All students competing participated in a positive and determined manner. Congratulations! Special mention to Emery M and Summer N (grade 4) who finished 3rd and 8th in the 10 girls to qualify for the Regional event in St Arnaud on Tuesday 28th May. 

Bendigo Dragon Mile

Easter Sunday saw the annual running of the Bendigo Dragon Mile. This is an event that takes place as part of the Bendigo Easter Parade, running through the streets of Bendigo. We had several students competing in this event, representing our school with eagerness and determination. These include: Fletcher A, Harry G, Alice G, Lulu G, Kai M, Parker M, Emery M & Leo E. Special mention to Emery Mackin who finished in second place in the junior primary division. An outstanding achievement Emery!

Show Jumping State Champs!

Last week, year 6 student Alice H excelled at the Interschools State Championships, clinching the title of Overall State Champion in Primary Show Jumping 70cm with George. Her success has earned her qualification for the Victorian Team heading to the Nationals in Tamworth. Additionally, Alice also took a young horse for exposure to competition and finished a very unexpected 3rd overall in the Primary Preliminary Dressage section. This means that they are currently in reserve for the Victorian team also, with an opportunity to qualify for the remaining two team places available at another comp in June. Congratulations Alice, keep up the amazing hard work that you are putting in! 

Camp Quality Big Ride for Little Kids!

Congratulations to Jasper D in grade 4 who recently completed his 4th year of riding for Camp Quality as part of their Big Ride for Little Kids initiative. Jasper set a goal of riding 400kms and raising $1500 for the month of March which he achieved by riding 24 days out of 31. Fantastic effort Jasper and one to be very proud of!
